Default My distressed son

I took this photo a few weeks ago, of my son when I put merry poppins on pause
I converted it to black and white in picassa, then added a slightly red tint. I am really not sure if the red tint is too much or even adds to the overall feeling of the photo at all.

I wont write too much about how this photo makes me feel as I want a balanced critique, and I do not want to sway your comments.

I would really appreciate any feedback you may have thanks,
Lee

Finley... distressed

(yes, you have seen this before as it was a last minute entry to the "feelings" assigment)

I'm too new to critique others, but it looks exactly how I feel when the Pittsburgh Penguins are up by one and New Jersey has posession of the puck with Brodeur out of the net with a minute 10 to go and my daughter flitters in and shuts the TV off!

mrlee_1979,

You paused the Holy Nanny?! Photo could be bright red, then. Sometimes all you can do is appreciate the subject and leave the fixes for a flower or a landscape. Nothing is going to change the raw emotion of a child in the throes of Julie Andrews-withdrawl. That's a keeper.
