Hi all,

Here's a portrait of William on his 1st birthday. William is a family friend's son. He was born prematurely and was absolutely tiny. It's so good to see him so healthy and well now, even though he's only the same size as a six month old.

William's First Birthday 005

I think this is the best one out of the set on Flickr, but it was difficult to pick just one for critique. William has just found out that if he purses his lips and breathes through his mouth he can make a funny sound...

Matthew James Norman,

You have the eyes sharp; if you could bring out that wonderful color, it would grab.

Thanks for your positive feedback, jiminyClickit, do you have any idea of how I could achieve that? Here's my first go at changing eye colour - Unfortunately the eyes are quite dark anyway so the colour doesn't really stand out.
