 This is my yr old son Sean. He had just eaten an Airhead candy and his tongue turned blue. He is a natural ham for the camera so I told him to stand still for 2 seconds. Thats all the time I had. He then sat with me and helped me process the shot. he thought the way it looks goes along with halloween.

Shot with a 70-200mm 2.8

Good use of selective desaturation, and good B&W conversion also.

Great focus -- wonderful clarity to the eyes and texture in the hair. I like the partial desat. This is a fun photo and a really cute boy. He's right about the Halloween look. That is the first thing I thought when I saw it.

This should be framed and hung up where Sean can see it every day. Striking image and very cute model.
