My two month old already becoming quite the poser. I think I'm over doing the PS effect a bit on these two but thought I'd post them anyway. This technique is where you duplicate the layer, Gaussian blur just so the details are visible, and set the over lay to screen, soft/hard light. It creates a bit of a glow.

I agree with Mark about the PS work not being overdone.

wonderful capture, those eyes have tremendous attraction to all that view this image.
the arrangement, lighting, and good technique all help to make this something more than a family portraight for the album.
it has very strong pictorial merits, possible commercial use i would think maybee black & white post card or print . think sepia print would also look good.
well done ..enjoy it....I wish you every sucess with this great image.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I wish I had more time to work on photography and the post processing part, very fun for me. It's been a great stress reliever from work.
