great picture so cute . very clear coulers are good and central focus very good . i personnaly feel the the shadowing around the edge takes something from the photo but that is just my opinion. thanks for sharing

Sweet looking boy and a sweet looking picture with this pet rabbit. I like the picture and the shaded edges are fine except I think yoou picked the wrong color for it.(In my opinion) Because it is my opinion I will give you the five. pat

    Hi my friend, My curiosity is dying to know what color you would have chosen for the edges? I WAS going to use the RED in my nephew's shirt,but I couldn't find a shade I liked! You know how much I like your work so I was wondering what you would have done? In the meantime I'm glad you enjoyed the picture! Thank you for sharing your thoughts within your wonderful review. :o) Smiles and Hugs, Helvi

    Any Drawer color so the focus is not on the framing you want the attention on the picture.(Dark Blue,or Black) is what I would have gone with. My opinion only...Pat

    Thanks Pat, I appreciate your opinion. It's nice to know how other people would have framed this. We all learn and get ideas from other peoples thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to send a reply. :o) Helvi
Comment from Angelheart The First


The work that you did on this Helvi is really very good in adjusting a lot of areas.The added blue behind the bunny brought attention to it.I love the combination of the softness and the lighting that you did and the fact that it is a totally candid photo is what gives it all of it's charm.
The best of luck to you!!

    I think this is the first photo I've posted here that has a person in it. (except the photo of me on the profile page) I know my nephew would LOVE this! My sister-in law gave Jason a calender for Christmas made up from pictures of his younger years! He LOVEd it! I didn't remember this moment and I bet he doesn't either. Thank you for the lovely suggestion of making this an Easter card and sending it to him. :o) I should have thought of that myself, no wonder my DUMB bell is ringing. LOL Thank you my firend for the awesome review and idea. Hugs and Smiles, Helvi

Can't go wrong with taking pictures of children and their pets...very magical moment here...good exposure and composition nicely framed with the vignette...very nice job!

Comment from DiannaM


This is really cute and touching. The color and light are good. It seems to be heavily pixelated or over sharpened maybe both??? This is evident from the haloing around both the boy and the bunny. A very nice image though that melts your heart.

    Hi Dianna, I use accented edges which may account for the haloing you see. I added the effect to add some depth. You can't win everyone with the way you do things. What really matters IS that you that you enjoyed the image. Thank you for letting me know how you feel about the techical aspects, but especially that you enjoyed the image. Smiles and Hugs, Helvi
