Penny for them!

My little Grandson in thoughtful pose, he has the most beautiful blue eyes, not always easy to capture him though!

"Blue Eyes" your grandson, and picture, is the right testimonial for that Elton John's song LIKEd. Effective square crop and "cunning " use of sharp focus on his eyes. Did you blur all the rest using a mask? or did you manage F 5,6 at the right distance so to get a narrow DOF (fore and back)?...Sorry for my inquisitive question in Scotland Yard style (hope not to offend anyone!)

Well, you "caught" him with a very intriguing facial expression. Love the colours and tones. Like.

Hi Giulio, i was a fair distance away from him as not to attract his attention, the background was fairly out of focus and quite nice and soft but there was clutter i.e. a sofa and cushions etc, i used a textured background to get around this and then "painted" him back in, quite time consuming but then it's a productive hobby if you have spare time and the inclination all done in PicMonkey! thank you as always
