  • Great shot Justin. Love the DOF and composition. The top of his head is only slightly cut off which is bugging me a little but I'm slightly obsessive compulsive :)

  • Thanks a lot Derek. The cut-off was bugging me as well (and I'm much more than "slightly" obsessive-compulsive ;). The initial problem was that he had some pretty crazy hair going on that I thought detracted from the image. After trying unsuccessfully to process it out, I ended up just cropping it. But, it ate at me and I finally got around to giving it another shot, the results of which can now be seen in the photo.

  • Ahhh. Sigh. That feels much better. I think it was worth it :) You did well, I can't see any obvious post processing distractions in that area of the shot. Nice.

  • Nice eyes. I'd crop tighter & mb see how it looks darker. Good shot.

Anthan

San Jose, California, September 2006. This is a shot of Adam's baby boy, Anthan. Adam is a good friend of mine from undergrad who now lives out here in Silicon Valley. I took this picture at his place a couple of months ago when he and I were entertaining a mutual friend of ours for the weekend.
