Light and Shade

Think I over sharpened this one, and I am not sure about the eyes but i felt when i left them B&W it left the image very flat. On saying this I was very happy with the image when I printed out a sample.
As always would love some advice.
Shot with Canon 450d 50mm f/2.5 1/200 sec, ISO-200
Bright Eyes by HairyGus, on FlickrThanks for looking
Had to comment Gus & I’m making a hypocrite out of my self for doing so but this image is a real beauty! Well done :D
wow such a lovely picture. i like the processing and wouldn’t change it. if anything i would see if possible to recover the highlights but still a great image and u captured a lovely espression from the baby
Beautiful shot, just one small niggle, little specks around the baby’s mouth
I think it would look better without them, but overall it is a lovely shot.John thanks for your comment I’am truly glad you like the image (don’t worry I wont tell you it’s my son) as for being a hypocrite we have all been guilty of that at some stage. I believe people put up images of there children, family, pets even homes because as photographers that’s were we all start to experiment and explore our skills. Plus I think sharing personal images with one another helps develop a seance of community. That’s just my opinion.
Regards GusClaudio also thanks for your comment, I can recover the highlights but i felt when I did it tuck away from the contrast between the light and the shadow but may be i should try recover some more detail.
Thanks again GusShutterbug your absolutely spot on or should that be spot off :) thanks for the kind words.
Regards Gusvery nice indeed !! i do agree with claudio that maybe bringing back some of the detail in the highlights would be nice . you could always burn those lovely shadows 2 or 3 % to keep your contrast . …..that said , only a small point :-) really top shot .
Mark S, thanks very much for your kind words.
jodal1975, I am relatively new to photography and image processing, so I’am not sure what you mean by burn the shadows 2-3% but i will look it up thanks for the advice and also thank you for your encouraging words.
Regards Gus
Absolutely FANTASTIC !!!
just one thing, eyes should be BW as well IMO:-)
I have taken on bored what everyone has said and this is what I ended up with, hope you like.
Regards Gus
Bright Eyes BW by HairyGus, on Flickrthe selective coloring works or me. Great shot , nice to see some imaginative flair reappear on the site
I love the image,
It is very eye catching.
I usually hate the selective colouring thing too, but in this image really works.It helps that the baby is really cutie.
