Before the Cut


We took Ryan to get his hair cut today, so I convinced him to let me take a few pictures before it got neatened up. I actually like it this length but it drives Kevin nuts. This is another one of those photos where I applied the color popping technique. I think I like the technique, but wish it didn't leave the skin looking quite so washed out. Have to see if there's some way to do this while leaving the skintone more intact.

By the way, while I play around with the camera and such, I would really love any input about the results--do you like techniques used or should I not fiddle so much? That kind of stuff. Feel free to be brutally honest, please. Perhaps I should post before and after pics? In advance, thanks!

I immediately liked the picture, but when I read your comments about the skin tone, I do agree with that. Such a sharp picture!

I loved it too...it's a great shot of Ryan. Love the color of the jersey. Didn't notice his skin tone until I read your post then I tend to agree also.

Hmm. It does wash out the face a bit, doesn't it. I like this one more than the one of Katy though. Keep playing. It would be interesting to see before & after if you are inspired to show us!
