So this was the original - before PP. Thoughts? Comments? CC? :) You can see our dog (who I airbrushed out of the other). I do wish the focus was on his face though. Do you like it better than the one where I bumped up the contrast to get a true silhoutte?

I think I like the other one better, I like the less detail, reminds me of nicer version of those silhouettes we made in grade school standing against the wall with the projector...

I like the other one better, too. Poor Sami! ;)

OK I'm odd...I like this one better, even w/the blurry features. To me there is more of the story on this one.

I like them both. The second one screams "pals" or I'm By your side.

I also like the first one better. I think it is more interesting to me for some reason.

I like them both but the one with the dog is a nice Idea (bay and his best friend) just wish it was more sharp (focus) like you mentioned.

I prefer the first one. Like that you can see the profile of your DS and dog :) Lovely shot...

Funny thing about photography: either the focus works or it doesn't. As for feeling, the pic is really great. A boy and his dog. It's so iconoclastic. But then the camera did choose to focus on the spagetti (Brenna loves raw "skabetties" too). What to do? Sometimes spagetti isn't iconoclastic. Simetimes it's just spagetti. In this case it draws from the subject: Collin and Sammie and whatever it is they are both intently focusing on (sorry 'bout the pun). Darn that autofocus. If it only was auto mindreader too. The focus aside, what a fantastic and intimate moment. Truly caught in time; thought, intention and progression are exactly evident here. I think only the technique needs prectice. It's obvious you've been taking pictures all your life. Now you just have a camera to prove it (and also a camera to deal with). You obviously know exactly what you want to project.
