The edges look a little funny in the scan, and looks a bit more yellow than the print actually is once I uploaded it.

Scanners will do that. I like this- it has a very "classic" look to it that feels very warm, makes you feel like you're there watching it.

He seems so intent on his project. I like all the detail and the warm feeling.

Like this one Suzanne! Great highlight on the hair. Works well with the sepia. I love the way the shadows diffuse when done in this way. I tried the same method with a landscape I'd posted some time back. Didn't really like the full on diffuse effect, but got nice results with removing the diffuser for the remaining 1/3rd of the exposure.

I like this very much, the other one too, but for me the colours and diffusion really suit this one. It looks almost like sepia/gold. The diffusion works really well here softening the strong sunlight. Great subject/composition of course, as always!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

And yes, Blighty, I found that I made the base exposure with the diffusion, did a little light burn top, bottom and sides without the diffusion, and also gave it a few seconds exposure on a 5 filter (well, for me... 200 magenta) without the diffusion so I could deepen the blacks somewhat. I think giving the print some exposure without the diffusion just gives it a bit more.. I dunno...ummmph... Now there's a nice technical term!

What a wonderfully warm photograph, Suzanne. Perfect for refreshing the memory as time passes by.

All the best,
Daniel

The psuedo-vignetting and the toning gives it a timelessness that is interesting. The sheer /focus/ of a child comes over well, too.
