personally i think it's your best hummer to date!! love the pose, bg, and sharpness. if anything i might add a little canvas to the left and bottom? not sure, just looks a little centered. nice job!!
Gus, Very nice details and pose, surely one of your best!!!
after a second look, i thought it might be a little dark. i havent gotten enough experience to be able to eye an image and see so i loaded it into CNX2 to have a look at the histogram and saw that it was a little underexposed. the only thing i did was set the black and white points and i thought it popped it a lot more.
see what you think. not trying to step on any toes here!
Hi Harold:
You read my mind . . . super repost.
Though I checked & corrected the blacks and whites in curves, it wasn't enough.
Nice job young man.
Thanks
Uncle Gus

Very nice capture Gus and the repost does make it pop. I agree with Harold about a tad more room on the left.

Uncle Gus...this is really good...I like it...good sharp details...good color rendition...good eye contact...and the background compliments this little guy very well...Doctor Davis' repost puts your "10" composition to a "10++" :cool:

Hi Folks:
Been playing with a bunch of free stuff when I upgraded Corel PSP X1 ($58) to X2 Ultimate, one freebee was Painter Photo Essentials 4, best was Image Skill Background remover 3 that I even installed in CS4, plus, plus, plus, even a keychain 2 GB Flash card to boot . . . Also 150 free picture frames, and 60 equivalent to Define brushes.
This was put together with Corel paint, BG remover & CS4 . . .
