    How to tell the most experienced shooter in a group? They have the least amount of toys on them.

    it might have served a greater purpose to let him be a bagpiper wearing a kilt than to just be a boy wearing a skirt with a little coin purse...

    cute shot!

    Post processing:

    Channel mixer for B&W conversion
    Sharpening

    It was shot on a cloudless day, about 3:00pm, the background is blacktop, I exposed for the shadows to get the sun to completely blow out the pavement.

    Very Nice Seb...

    Love the conversion and the exposure control. Reminds me of a Willem shot.

    Oh, okay, i wasn't sure if that background was because of post processing or exposure! You have alot of detail in this little guy, Good Exposure and Excellent Picture!
