Portrait critique

[APointInTime]

I'm about to have this shot printed on a Gallery Wrap. Just wanted to see what you may think of this shot. I planning it to be my first attempt at this kind of print.

I purposely "over did" the sepia effect on this. I think i really like it. Wondering if any of you agree?

Do you think it'll look good on canvas?

Thanks in advance for looking, and for your time!

I love it! I really get a feel for the child. It shows personality. I really like the sepia processing as well. This is a photo that i would love to have of my own daughter.

ohhh it's going to look very nice on canvas I would bet.
Good job!!

[joe mama]

Great pic! Don't know about the punch sepia or canvas, though.

The overalls, the car and the sepia toning combine to create a wonderful, consistent nostalgic feeling. His eyes have tremendous depth and expression.

Your portrait made me remember an old pedal powered ride-in metal roadster that I had as a child, it was a favorite toy and I hadn't thought of it in years! Thank you for the beautiful capture and the nice memory.

I love portraits like this, the feel they have, the look they give the children....love it.

[APointInTime]

Wow, I'm humbled. Thanks for all the compliments.

This image is actually a little over a year old. The color version just wasn't that good, but when I shot this I did it with the intent to do a B&W or Sepia. I'm glad it worked out.

Once again, thanks!

I think the shot is extremely good. Thanks for sharing.

That photograph pretty much embodies your "A Point In Time" name for your business! That print will look good anywhere you put it!

I like the sepia, but the nose of the dog seems a bit hot

That was actually the one of the things I could find wrong myself. I was wondering if someone would pick that up. I need to fix that.

Thanks for looking!

I agree about the dogs nose, it pulls me away from the kids eyes.

[heymeng]

stunning! Its a great pic

[klp]

This is a fantastic picture... there's a softness to it and those eyes just draw me in!! Well done!!

Like everybody else, I am very impressed by all aspects of this image.

I recently received an email advertisement from a company that sell backgrounds for various types of portraits which led me to wonder how this one would look with a background such as a pathway through a wooded scene. Of course, I know there are a zillion different backgrounds -- and I only have one. ;)

[APointInTime]

Well, I thought I'd provide an update. Once again, thanks to all of you for such kind words about this image! :)

So here are some pictures of a picture on canvas.
It's a 16x20 printed from Canvas On Demand. Very pleased with it, but again, this is my first.

Anyway here are the pics. I did not color correct them, they are slightly warm. The wall it is a light cream color.

I love this shot, his eyes have so much depth to them.

[Flo]

Just priceless. Thanks for the canvas aftermath..

[howaboutnow]

What a beautiful canvas! I'd look at it in a museum or something for a few mins for sure.

[jhuse]

I agree with all and think it will look great on canvas!

Hello Tom
I like the look.How did you do it? What software did you use?

Hello Tom

Just photoshop. I converted to B&W, blurred the background and did a custom sepia tone (ie: none of the canned actions. I don't think they're typically toned enough).

That's about it really.

Thanks
