Thank you so much for taking the time to reply so thoroughly, Mike. I agree. When I reduced the color saturation, there was very little value contrast in the face. As I attempted to paint said face, it was all roses and cadmiums- not many neutral tones. I wasn't thrilled about the can, either. I will have this printed and keep it as a reminder of our family vacation. As for the canvas, it is in the process of becoming a beautiful landscape of the 360 bridge in Austin. Again, thank you for your insight. I'm sometimes hesitant to post in this forum for fear of being told to stop using photos and go back to school. I have great north light in the studio, so when I get the chance, I'll capture our little ones the right way. Oh, and I have a CanonPowerShot A70. When I take the time to play with settings, I usually get some good shots (no flash, of course).

Thanks again,
Sandra

Sandra,

Well, they can't say that to me because I've never been to school. But seriously, I think we're all still in school here, I know I am. If you want to do a kind of work in progress photo shoot just speak up and we'll exchange some ideas and try and make something work. I sure like a crisp collared shirt and a bow tie on a young man.

Good luck with that bridge.
