You might be right in regard to the boy's face at least. I could easily make the gradation of tones more gradual, but I probably won't bother. I can't even remember how I might have processed this, but I'm fine with it as presented. It printed quite well. I gave the father an 8x10, which pleased him. Always good to keep up relations with the neighbors. I just posted it, because it had a quirky look. It's a point and shoot snapshot and will not live long on my page. Thanks for looking.
