"Ethan in the Sandbox"
We had a beautiful summer day today, in December, in Colorado... Ethan took advantage of the great weather to do a little sand-boxing.
I agree Patrick. I didn't care for the bright spots behind him, but didn't have time to fix it. I'll try to go back and clean up the background later... This was really just a quick snapshot, no flash, with him sitting in shadows. I almost deleted it, but something in his eyes caught my attention. I was able to salvage it enough in post processing to make it a keeper.

This is a beauty, JD! Love the tones of this image - they're perfect. Amazing detail in Ethan's eyes and hair - love it! My only nit to pick with this one is that block of white immediately adjacent to Ethan's left ear - it really pops out at me when I look at the image. I'd be inclined to tone that bad boy down to the same intensity as the block of white at about 2 o'clock - or the blotch near his left shoulder.
Can't get over your people shots, JD - they are simply exemplary. Outstanding work! :)
