Those Eyes....

Uploaded: December 23, 2007

Description


Well, here is Zeke leaning in a huge Christmas ornament (it's the size os a soccer ball). We had went grocery shopping the other day and Gabrielle saw it. She was getting fussy so I gave in and gave it to her to play with so I could finish shopping. Well, we get home and the kids are playing with it and I get the camera out. So, here is Zeke posing for me.

ISO 800, 1/100, 5.6, 55.0 mm

I converted to black and white, enhanced his eyes (Check Them Out!), smoothed his skin, upped the contrast, and played with levels

Feel free to let me know what you think. I appreciate all feedback, comments, and advice.

Thanks for looking!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Great shot, I love this effect on the eyes. I've seen this effect several times and always wanted to know how they did they that. I was wondering how you get the effect on the eyes. I've tried everything I can think of. #813962
