photoblog image Sweet Winter Twins

Sweet Winter Twins


Two little boys liking each other a lot

Lit by the late morning sun
but already getting a bit tired
ready to take a first nap




UPDATE: I submitted this image for the VFXY themes Duality and Together. I only realized afterwards that I used this picture for two different themes.


TECH-INFO: In DxO Optics Pro I converted it to black & white and gave it a warmer tone. In Photoshop I added a small rectangular vignette using an HSL adjustment layer where I set the lightness to a low value and the blend mode to overlay instead of normal. When comparing with a standard vignette, you'll notice that the light parts are a bit brighter and the shadows darker. It's like a kind of dynamic vignette :-)

Ohhh... Come on! They were just in the middle of very important conversation and then you came and disturbed them with your camera grin
Those adults... They don't understand a thing.
LightningPaul: I think they even don't bother anymore if I show up again with my disturbing camera :-D

looks like an indepth analysis and comparison of the finer qualities of respective cosy toys, nice shot Paul.
LightningPaul: LOL :-D
Thanks!
The looks they're giving each other are great! Good catch. The toning of the black and white is perfect! REally nice double portrait.
Sweet indeed
LightningPaul: Thank you smile
Looks like an old time photograph. Love the processing. Of course the two little boys are so cute. A lovely picture.
LightningPaul: Thanks for your opinion. I didn't look it that way.
