| About |
This is Freya, my friend's new baby. I converted a colour image into black and white, using mostly the red channel, mixed with a little from the green channel. Freya had a bit of a spotty face the day I took this, so converting it using the channel mixing managed to make her skin look lovely and smooth. My one small gripe with this image, is that I feel that the point of focus is on her top, rather than her eyes. I usually try to make sure I focus on eyes in a portrait, so I'm not sure why I didn't here. Oh well, I still like this as a baby portrait.

Very nice shot Sarah! Soft, cute and looking right at us. I am sure your friend would like this. One little tiny suggestion: The frame should not detract too much from the image. You want it to compliment rather than compete. Very interesting choice here. Nice shot once again!!

Nice baby and good photo, and your converstion to B&W is good. Your own comment about the focus is probably valid but there is a small dark object just over the baby's head which tends to draw my eye up as well.
However, I do feel your friend is very pleased with this portrait. Well done.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Vince, I only used this frame because when I came to upload it onto usefilm, I realised I only had this copy on my computer. You are right about the framing not competing with the image.
Miles, I know what you mean about the dark object on Freya's chair. Oh well, sometimes you can't pick and choose everything.
