I like the 3D effect, nicely done Kansas Mom.

Very cute...The red taillight is a little distracting...might be able to do something in PS...Well, i mean you might be able to...THere is no way I could, for I suck at PS, but i digress...

I love the expression and the use of thirds...Very nice picture...thanks for sharing.

how's this? Are the taillights less distracting now?

Yes...See, that would have taken me days! Again, very nice shot. What a cutie.

Nice shot!

and nice capture

The shot is great. I get drawn right to that big smile.

what a sweet little face!!!!!!!!!! M mode is way more fun isn't it!!! I am such a control freak that it is just where I belong!

Nice shot of a cute boy!

Sorry to OT but.....I am just wondering what B&H did for you? Did they give you a NEW 20D in replacement of the refurbished one you had problems with, or did they give you another refurb?

Just curious, as I was following your earlier posts/problems.

Great shot! I liked it. very nice capture and composition. Soft focus on the child's face.

Cute image! I do not care too much for the background. Some foliage would have been nice. Is that a State Trooper car?

Nice! ...and a replacement 20D - gotta hear the story!

That is what I was thinking...

Haha. Okay, yes, B&H took very good care of me. Sent me a replacement for the defective 20D they had sent me, and yes, the one they sent me is also a refurbished, and seems to be in immaculate condition. I am pleased.

Ryan - as far as the background goes, well, sorry! It's just a simple snapshot that was taken in the driveway as I conducted my own tests on the sent camera. I wasn't going for anything spectacular, but for a snapshot, I was pleased. Daddy's patrol car in the background is something Cooper will have to get used to in his life.

Well, congrats! I am glad B&H resolved your problems. I know I would have been pretty upset if I were in your shoes.

PS - I like the patrol car in the background, especially since it has that special meaning in your family. Now if it was just a car.... well that would be different .

Good luck with your new camera!
