| Wonderful frozen moment. Good use of the frame and the spectators add a lot of flavor.I also like the gently curve of the track. |

First -- if there is any halo'ing, it is so minimal, its hardly noticeable -- and the pose you captured is well worth any slight technical imperfections (if there are any).
Sometimes what I do if I end up with a little halo'ing caused by too much sharpening or processing of some kind -- is to be sure that I'm doing my changes in layers. Then, do a layer mask on the layer with sharpening, curves or whatever. . .and erase thru just around the edges at about 50% or whatever it takes to eliminate the problem.
But I think this look just fine!

| I don't see any haloing and I quite like it in B&W. The mid-stride capture is perfect and the focus very crisp. Has an intense, but fun feel to it. |

| I like the classic lighting on the face. It is one of the most attractive natural angle. Great contrasts and that face really looks like he is grinding hard to run as fast as he can. Nice dof. Noise doesn't seem apparent from where I sit. |

I would echo the comments about the excellence of the subject composition, a great pic of a kid going flat out.
Really like the dof employed as well |

excellent shot michelle ... i love his concentrated expression and I LOVE HIS HANDS !!! ... great how he is totally focused and the ppl watching are out of focus ... i like the posture of the kid in the background coz he's not just standing there, he's moving too, only in a totally different way to your running child ..
i cant see a halo?? ...
noise ninja is a great way to get rid of noise....
also reduce noise which is under filters in photoshop ...
also the different blurs also in filters ..
i often do a reduce noise before resize and then again after .. it can get rid of the noise/grain a bit ... grain is a buggar eh? .. but to me this image doesnt suffer because if it ... could be coz i'm so used to seeing it in my own images & grain is my constant companion!! ... but after reading your comment again, you may not have been asking about the noise, but the halo .. i'll leave this in just in case you were ... :) |

I don't see any haloing, but I'd suggest the same thing Art did to combat it. As for noise, I find iso200 adds just the 'perfect' amount of grain to a BW photo. 400 starts looking a bit rough - this is on my camera obviously. Anyway, pretty much anything over iso 100 once you start banging on it with Levels the noise is going to start to be noticeable. Neat Image does a nice job and I think you applied it well here. Not much detail lost in the process, if any.
Nice shot btw. DoF works well to isolate the runner while still giving a little background for added interest. |

Isn't he a little young for Ohio State? ;-)
This is terrific! The way he is dressed seems out of place for a sports pic unless he is a spectator and is just making a mad dash to the porta potty. :P The DoF is perfect and noise is more tolerable and almost beneficial in many BW's.
What you can do is apply the sharpening, then undo, then set the History Brush to the sharpening step in the History palette and set the History Brush to 50% opacity and zoom in and reapply the sharpeningto specific areas that need it.
Hope that helps. |
