Artist's Comments

A portrait taken of my 1 month old nephew earlier today. Converted it to grayscale, did some standard enhancing and this is the result.

Edit: I forgot to mention, a Gaussian Blur has also been added. The grainy effect is natural, his skin is more "flaky" than "normal" due to being born 2 weeks overdue... :)

I'm not the most objective person on this, I know, but you gotta admit that he is adorable?! :)

Feel free to comment, advanced critiques are preferred but not necessary.


Edit: Both brightness and contrast increased as suggested by others; thank you! :)

Nice concept! The only things that catches my eye is that the picture is a bit grainy, and seems a little bit out of focus. It might be intentional though?

Keep up the good work!

The problem with the black and white was that it gave the photo a more ominous tone. Like something bad is about to happen to the baby. Maybe you should brighten the photo up a bit.

this is, essentially, a great photo, but the greay tones and darkness of it make the baby seem not as cute as it could. I suggest you brighten it a bit and some contrast. You could even try converting it to sepia for a more homely effect.
