Well, there were something that y'all might have missed and it was probably due to the scan and having to view the pic on a screen. I rescanned the slide with Shel's crop which I definitely like (thanks Shel!). Take a look at the kid's hair and pay attention to the color (hint: it's painted green on top). So I was going for the relationship between he and his mother but wanted to play with the juxtaposition of his hair color and her bracelet. I resubmitted the photo with some changes. Maybe they help. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2377665&size=lg I like Shel's B&W conversion as well. I'm gonna think about whether I want to print it as a B&W and let the relationship stand on its own or keep the green hair and deal with the color elements in the background. Thanks! Mark
