Sorry, been going through the pictures from last night's xmas party at my house, and this picture just struck me googley eyed. All I did was enhance/retouch it in iPhoto, and shrink it 50% in Photoshop. Thoughts?!

His face says:

"I'm brilliant, I'm intense, and I'm going to kick your butt."

Aww.. babies!

I keep pinching my nephew's cheeks.
If I can't be the stereotypical aunt, there's no point in doing it!

...I'm also learning magic tricks to baffle him.
Also, how to count cards when playing go fish.
MUAHAHAH!

I found the background of this pic to be a little distracting...

<snip>

I am going to disagree with you on this, which I suspect it is a matter of preference, but personally I believe that the background in the original photo kind of tells the whole story. By looking at the baby with a solid black background you do not know it is the holiday season and that he is playing with a new toy. However, there is kind of a blur in the back because obviously that wasn't the point of the picture, but we notice the blur and then we notice what is going on.

Atleast that is how I see it... just a thought.

Go easy on the iPhoto retouching. The highlights have been badly clipped, which sort of ruin an otherwise good shot.
Sorry I haven't replied, I've been in New Orleans, and having internet access is a luxury here as volunteers.

I didn't notice I had clipped the highlights, I did the autofix. The colors were a little faded in the original. (speaking from an uncle's point of view ^^)

I forget the F-stop, I can look up the original EXIF in a bit. Thanks for all the comments!
