Momma and Timo

I tried my hand at a B&W conversion. I tried using the channels method. I admire the work of Ann Snelson and hope to create photos of that quality. How am I doing??

Very nice. How did you create those frames?

Wow....over 150 views and no comments. Is this a case of "if there is nothing good to say, don't say anything at all"? :}

Airedale----the frames were created in PS E3. Image-->Resize-->Canvas Size. Enter a size larger than the size of you photo(I usually switch to pixels) and also choose what color you want the canvas to be. I think it a similar operation in for other versions of PS.

I reckon the B&W turned out great... I love the little kids eyes

I think #1 is definately the better of the two, and maybe you could up the contrast a little... but I'm not sure about that. I would be happy with them if they were mine.

Love the first one just as it is!

Very well done. I love them both!

Oh WOW! That second shot is OUTSTANDING! Nice work.

Hi John,
I think the only change I would make would be to have Mom remove her glasses. I know she probably wears them all the time, but they just look harsh with all the soft curves of the bodies.
Pam

Agreed. Wish she had removed the glasses. Looks good.

I agree. However, I am sure that the glasses are as much a part of her as the child is and that if they were not there a part of her would be missing.
Just another way to see a beautiful photograph.

Both great shots...

What a cute little kid, Very nice shots.

Good Pictures! You can see the love in their faces. Gives me a warm feeling.

You have done well.

Very nice shots!
