Default 500th post - and the reason I take pictures.

I'm still one of the new kids on the block around here and am learning just enough to be dangerous, but I decided I wouldn't let 500 pass without a little personal celebration. Here's the reason I bought a DSLR - can you blame me!?

Awww, Tell is such a cutie. Definitely worth the camera and lens costs

That's the same reason I take photos, too.

Hello, what a beautiful picture.
Your profile says "Image Editing OK" so I did some small touch-ups. Not becuase there is anything wrong with your photo, but because it is so beautiful and who could be a better critic of my edits than you!
If you don't approve of these edits, please let me know and I shall remove the image.
Edits: Cleaned up some glare around the chin and eyes, brighted the photo just a touch and a tad bit of sharpening.
Again, this was mostly for me, as it is very seldom I see such a perfect picture that I can practice on.
Thank you very much for sharing this and congratulations on # 500!!!

Great edits DigitalMDX! I love what you did, thanks. By all means leave it up. I'm going to practice my own pp skills and see if I can match what you did.
Thanks for looking everyone!

While that is a great edit, I think the "bright" spots on the chin were more desirable, as that baby drool is what makes the first picture even better.

Beautiful baby. These type moments are priceless.

Thumbs up Re: 500th post - and the reason I take pictures.

Great reason for taking photos. He is a great looking guy.
I think that I prefer the refined (drool removed) photo.
Thanks for sharing.
