Trying to think of words to describe it, but 'haunting' is the one that I keep thinking of. Well done, like the lightning.

Thanks for the comments. The cropping is quite close, I agree. The boy's mother was holding him so I wanted to just crop her out as much as possible without having to edit her out! Thanks again.

MaureenSouza Ms. MODERATOR Something Spectacular!  More info | Sep 18, 2005 12:05 | #7 I don't think she'll notice....... she'll be too busy gazing at that cute little face. I ran it through Neat Image and touched up the corner...... hope you don't mind.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Sep 18, 2005 14:16 | #8 Whatever Neat Image is, I think I need it! I will look into that b/c the photo looks so much softer. I wonder if I would get the same effect with Gaussian blur? I will try it.

Can you do something similar in PS? I am glad you like the photo. I have Kodak Digital gem in my PS but Neat Image is available for free on the web. I think you can pay for an upgrade and more controls but I found the free version pretty much takes care of my photo needs. Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

I'm sure the mom would be estatic to have it. It is one to keep forever. You did a fantastic job of capturing the moment.
