 Since week 1 didn't show all of William I took a snap of him today for this week's entry. I shot in b/w mode on my camera (in RAW) today and it did help some.

I'm working on a new laptop and I can't seem to get photos sharp enough so I end up going overboard...how does this one look? Is it over sharpened? It looks fine on my LCD.

Conversion was done with the photoshop black and white command. This is advanced edited so I couldn't use it for the current "eyes" challenge as processed.

Great shot, really captures the William's intensity, a wonderful gaze.

Most engaging: he's full on, and you've captured so much detail in this front on view that I feel I am looking a serious photo AND a sweet Willian at the same time.

So cute! Love the big eyes - the picture is so engaging and really pulls you in. If anything is oversharpened, I'd say it's the lower edge of the upper lip. Or it's my imagination.. no clue. Great family photo!

Cute shot, big dark eyes really draw attention. i don't feel that it is oversharpened but do thing a bit of lightening the eyes could really makes this pop even more. !

You teach me that a trusting look from subject to photographer provides a sincere photo. That is an art which not many can achieve all the time.

You've captured a nice expression here and the B&W looks fine on this uncalibrated monitor. It doesn't look oversharpened either. Are you sharpening before resizing or after? I tend to sharpen after resizing, with a small radius (around 0.3) and close to 100%. I play with the sliders until I start to get halos and back off a bit.

those are some amazingly big eyes he has! you need to use them more often...

the lighting from behind does not let the eyes shine as much as they could - play around with the angle of light to really emphasize his face

Nice composition/crop here. Doesn't look oversharpened on my monitor but a tad dark and have to view from an angle to get the detail in the eyes (my monitor though I think).

Certainly doesn't look oversharpened on my mac. Nice job!

Dang he's a cute kid - he has a marvelously inquisitive look in this. I'm not sure how you "shoot in B&W in RAW - I can set the 30D to shoot B&W, but that's the jpeg - the RAW is still in color. Skin tone is the hardest thing (to me) for B&W, but you've done a good job with it here. It's a tad dark on one of my monitors, but fine on the other (both are LCDs), and it doesn't look oversharpened to me. (I do have to sharpen more for posting here than I think as well - some LCD monitors simply are "sharper", I think.)

Nice attentive expression, great eyes. Sharpening gives this a high impact look compared with had you gone with a softer image.

William is so adorable! He has such big beautiful eyes. I don't think it is over sharpened.
