LoLo Making a Dollar

I took some photos of all the kids in the family closeup style. I actually figured it would be a pretty cool gift idea having all the kids in some pics like these.... That idea was quickly shot down since my mother didn't like them too much..... I actually didn't have to give Logan a dollar. It was actually waterballons.... and as far as I can remember, those are priceless around age 4!

Camera: Canon EOS 20D (Canon)

Focal Length: 50 mm

Exposure: 1/80 sec

Aperture: f 4.5

ISO: 400

This is a great portrait. I did something similar with my kids, and I cherish seeing their little faces so closely. This is a time when it's ok not to listen to your mother....the image is brilliant!

Great shot. I like the reflection of the light in the eye

what's not to like about it? as far as this type of thing goes, i think it's a great image. you don't want to do the same old kid portraits everyone else does, this is pretty cool.

One can really get lost in those eyes. So dark and enchanting. Nice portrait.

So, I guess you didn't get your artistic genes from your mother, huh... :)

A great portrait with a very interesting composition, a great toning an an efficient work with the DOF. The reflections in his dark eyes are simply impressive.

What can I say, perfect! Perfect composition, perfect toning, prefect light.

great capture of the look in his eye(s)! so dark and full of that intensity that 4-year-olds have. wonderful shot!

Great shot but I'm not sure if i'm a fan of that reflection in the eye...but otherwise, this shot looks like it belongs in a magazine!
