As my wife so rightly states, I am blessed with wonderful photographic subjects! Morning at the PunkClown House and the youngest tucks into some toast, cereal and orange juice, simultaneously or if you prefer, at the same time! Image postwork: One layer channel mixed to B&W. Duplicate (colour) layer of original blended at 60% soft light above the black and white layer. Finally I masked the rest of image and upped the saturation on the OJ for effect...I hope you like the result. I don't usually do that much post work, but this was kinda fun. :-)>

The OJ reminds me of Tang when you did not put enough powder and it was really weak. Wasn't Tang awful!!

Tang! I remember that! Yep, you are right Randy - it was pretty awful. Brian, good to see you old buddy! Ummm...yeah kinda dark, I suppose, but it was actually a very dull morning with lots of cloud outside. That is pretty much how dull it was inside as I remember ~ of course you have to account for the post work too, which explains the orange if you read it. Thanks for all your comments people. btw Tedz - you are already a champion in my book! (What of, I'm not entirely sure, but a Champion nonetheless!)

OK. I didn't know if it was supposed to be lighter or if it was just me. Expecially with all of these questions about monitors zooming about. Bsteph
