Lonnit, I could see you had changed it even in the thumbnail. This is much nicer with the more natural-looking skin tones and the additional textural details in the towel.

Really Techo?... the change was quite subtle. I only removed the slightest bit of contrast from the cheeks and the middle of the towel fold. However I did darken the background a little bit so as not to compete somuch withthe skin tones, and to get those chairs in the back a bit darker for Rod. :) I guess subtle things do make big differences. Thanks. ~ Lonnit

I toned down the contrast a tad. Hope it is more to your liking. :) Thanks for the feedback. ~ Lonnit

Always so beautiful photos of your children! Agree with a softer contrast here as it seems the bottom right part of the towel is blown out, which distracts. Beautiful capture of the eyes in any event. Very sweet. jano

Beautiful face expression and nice angle

A good capture as usual, Lonnit, but the contrast seems a tad too harsh for the subject. Or maybe it's the lighting. I just feel that this innocent young face needs a sense of color or roundness to it, which some shadows could provide. Glad to see you're back in form, BTW.

Lonnit, You are soooo good at these kind of portraits. I am jealous. Yvonne

Nice work Lonnit I like the look of the towel being nice & white. If the chairs in the background could be made Ansel Adams black it would make this spot on for me. Well done young lady.

Ha ha, I knew from the thumbnail it was your kid Lonnit. He has the same eyes and smile as my nephew.
