I think the subdued lighting on just the faces of the two of them accomplishes just what you intended. It emphasizes the eyes of both of them which is how the connection is best shown. You are becoming quite artistic. Del.

This is great Mary. I love the treatment here. Did you select the outside parts and darken, then vignette? It worked great however you did this. Really well cropped as well. Nice job!

I understood your "about" only after seing the original. I can't, for the life of me, however, suggest in any way how to make the main photo more dramatic. You worked wonders, dear Mary. Whereas the pink photo is a bit commonplace, the B&W one has all the drama i can imagine.
My "Airport 2" was actually captured before leaving back home, but you're right about the feeling.
You will have noticed that my recent photos were captured in Uruguay. In that country, we were told, everything is done "eventually", so ever since coming back from there, I live in slow motion. That's the reason for being so late in thanking for your comments on them. The girl building the tower actually finished it without it toppling over once. At age 8 I found that a real accomplishment. Patiece does pay of.
Best regards,
Rafi

I think you had the right idea here, Mary. Very effective PS work. I specially like the illumination concentrating on the two faces.

una composizione ottima: amo il taglio quadrato e come il bianco e nero enfatizzi ancora di più la scena molto intima.
Ottimi anche i dettagli, e stupendo lo sguardo del padre: un momento inripetibile

I think the way you managed it with only ligh on the the baby and his dad made us to concentrate only on their faces and excluding anything else that could be in the photo which gives us exactly the feeling you want.
Excellent work Mary,
Khaled.

Hi Susie. I was playing with the Filter-Render-Lighting Effects in PS7. I don't remember exactly what had as I tried a bunch of combinations. I do think Spotlight and Soft Omni were what I ended up with here. Any vignetting is a result of the Lighting Effects.

Hi Mary,
Great job on the edit! I can't imagine doing anything else to improve what you've already done! Excellent close cropping! Gorgeous photo!
My only comment is I notice a series of concentric circles from the light gradient in the background, if my monitor's contrast/brightness happens to be up a little too high. Otherwise, at normal settings it looks fine.
Take care!

Hi Pierre. Thanks or your comment. You saw the circles. Before uploading, I see them at home if the brightness is up a bit. However, when I tried an upload, they did not seem to be apparent here. I guess it's your eyes being so well atuned to small details. That's great, I appreciate your mentioning them as I really do want to know anything that needs attention in my pictures. It's the only way to learn. This tells me I will have to experiment some more with the lighting tools and see how to get the desired effect without the concentric circles. Thanks.
Mary

Nice bit of PS work Mary, getting rid of the flash shadows, converting to b&w and highlighting their faces has really lifted a common photo into a strong portrait. Well done.
