gotcha :)

I was just wondering why you'd want to go through the effort for a random photo, but if its your son then it makes sense :thumbsup:

Maybe just a black/blue background or somethign? Or some snow scene?

I wouldn't change the background. The original is fine, just needs some color and exposure correction.

Quick job.

Hi,

I am probably the most newest member here,

I saw the photos of jake, piper and all the family members, They are so much real and innocent that I done feel there is anything missing there,

It could not have been better than these - is what I feel.

cheers,
Jessu.
:cool:

Cute kid. I like the idea, keep experimenting, you'll get something you like eventually.

There is a shadow behind the boy when it is obvious the sun is hitting him from the back. Looks off.

I would take other photos of your child, and give them all the same flattened effect, but with the child sticking out above the photo, and build a staircase out of them.
It would be circling ever upwards as he gets older.
It would look really cool printed out 50x20 or something.

Adjusted exposure with levels and curves. Took out the blue cast with color balance. Spot adjustment on hands and face to bring some warmth, contrast, and saturation back.
