 I was shooting pictures of my kids for a little desktop photo holder for my wife. I let both kids take some pictures of me. So this photo is actually taken by my son John who is 5. I was really impressed with the pictures that both of them took. I put the picture my daughter took in the frame and told John that I would submit his here.

I blended out the wrinkled white sheet background and worked on my face. (It's tough seeing your face at 300%) Selective healing brush (he he) and I used some blur.

Seems just a little out of focus on the right side, but the eyes are clear and piercing. Scorin it high.

Very playful look. Great idea with the white background it really brings the subject into focus.

I like the contrast, lighting and pose. However, I am not sure what the Landscape format gives you but dead space...
