A few of my nieces and nephews at a family reunion some years ago. My sister was taking a shot with her AE1 as I was snapping with my Pentax SF1n. The kids are grown now with children of their own. Time sure has a way of slipping away.

I really like the bokeh, but couldn't resist the temptation to play with the cropping and dodging/burning to light up his face and darken the background. The eye tends to go to bright areas, so making the face the lighter element can be worth trying. What do you think?

It looks great! Yeah that picture was straight from the camera raw no editing. I use adobe for editing when I do edit.

I just did a quick select in Photoshop, so it's a bit too sloppy (you see some bright edges next to his face) but a little more care working with the original and it would be good for a full size print.
