I like it too! I love the B&W conversion and the traditional 'Americana' feel to this image. Just wonderful and it takes me back to my youth in the midwest. You nailed this shot and it's absolutely wonderful. I came to take a peek at your PF after seeing you on the front page for the featured critique (Congrats, by the way) which was spot-on! The shot made ME nervous too and thank goodness for the response. Great experience to view these images (yours and hers) and a real advantage of the FC!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Thanks Susie!
I'm going to try messing around with that a little and see what I can come up with. I've been having so much fun with the actions that I downloaded! Thanks for the tip!
Could you tell me how to do a vignette on my photo. I really like how you did it on your editor's choice award. I haven't been able to figure it out on my own yet.

Hi Sheila,
I used the EZAction Goldenrod. I always like to mess around with the opacity on the layers on the actions. I think I bumped this one down to about 50% all 3 action layers.
Glad you like it!

Very nice conversion Susie! The tones are beautiful here. Did you convert this using an action? If so, which one? I love it!
I like the composition too. The tight crop, great focus on her eyes and the her day dreamer look all work great together. Well done!

Happy burp-day to you again,Susie! Hope you are out enjoying the sunshine and some melon,too!
The smoothness of her skin is what i find appealing...almost a rubber doll texture...like that you captured her lost in thought enjoying some watermelon....i crave it at this time of year and about to go find some!
Beautiful tone and focus...good work!

That look is one of pure enjoyment and the wonder if there will be second helpings Susie. Beautifully converted mono toned informal portrait in a photographic genre that you do so well at. The lighting is great, the dof perfect and the little girl is delightful. Well done to you sweetie. My very best wishes to you as always...Ray
I will communicate info on my work.........soon

Great portrait Susie - the sharpness of the eyes is the best part of this capture - draws you into the photo. Good low-key tones with the conversion - wonder how it would look in color though, specifically the melon; maybe a bit busy considering the background (looks a bit busy)? Either way, very well captured.
