Brothers...

@Tracey: As always, Tracey, thanks for the visit ... insight comment ... and the question. No blur layer ... in fact, the only PP is a slight curves adjustment and selective sharpening of the eyes. I think the smoothness of the skin might be attributed to a combination of the lighting (and shadow) and the significant reduction in size. The younger brother in this pic definitely has some smooth skin and that may be because the helmet is shading his face. When I first looked at today and yesterday's images full size I was amazed at the number of nicks, scratches and scars on the faces of the little girl and the older brother, in particular. Anyway ... thanks ... I appreciate that you're looking at my photos so closely. I hope to be getting back to a more sane schedule in my life soon so I can participate actively in the Am3 community ... ron
