Thankyou :)

These were just shot using natural light through the dining room window, (besides number 1 - that's just outside with some good positioned light) shot in RAW - then opened in ACR - desaturated, upped the blacks a little, a little contrast, opened in CS4 , saved as jpeg.
Nothing special at all ! lol

Number 2 is my fav, it's very him - a little soft on the left eye where I didn't nail the focus at 2.8.

Nice pics. It would be hard to get those poses from my son at that age. What's your secret? Cash? Special dessert? Candy? New Skateboard?
