I really like this shot...but do you guys think it would benefit from having the shadows taken out of my son's eyes? I feel like it is a little distracting. Thanks!

Arrow Medium size should do it!

Hi cherrygirl. Cute picture! Getting out the shadows in his eyes might be a bit of a challenge, but perhaps worth a try. Or, you could try brightening them up to see if it makes the shadows less distracting.

As far as the size of your image...it is larger that site rules allow, which is 800 px on longest side. In flickr, click on the "all sizes" link above your image and select the medium size to copy/paste code.

Welcome to DPS! Look forward to seeing more of your images!

I think it's a great capture and one that deserves a spot on Grandma's fridge.

For my tastes, I can see plenty of the eyes in this shot. So, the shadows aren't a distraction to me. Very nice.
