I may revisit this print... there is some tone behind him in the bright areas, not so much on the scan., but I think I can make it a bit better. Will the image be worth the effort?
Every yard needs a weed patch...what else would kids play in? I would lop off a bit of the left and bottom edges...more from former than the latter. You know what would look good here?? ..hand color some part of the image...maybe a yellow bowl. Just an idea.
I really like this too but the highlights are pretty blown out on my monitor..I KNOW the print doesn't look like that so "excellent!"as well
Another idea..try a little lower contrast and play with the time a bit?
