thanks Cotty :)

>I had in mind a horizontal in a aspect ratio approximating that of 4X6.

oh sorry!  I usually do things in 8x10.  I tried again, and I think
it's an improvement in comparison to the other crop, but when I
compare all three I still like the first one, even though the blur is
a distraction.

Actually, that's as tall as the picture gets, I just cropped a bit of
one of the sides.  Thanks very much for the compliment!

Thanks everyone who took a look at this, and thanks for the advice and
comments.  I really appreciate all the time you guys take to share
your opinions because there is so much to learn from all of you.

wow, thanks for the compliments!  I'll cross my fingers and hope it
gets in.  Jack, I agree that the softness is a distraction, and I
tried cropping it here:

http://picasaweb.google.com/rg2pdml/PESO/photo?authkey=W1C-i05p28o#5111251841033552002

but now it looks somewhat tight to me, and I'm not sure I like it.
What do you think?

Rebekah,
Certainly one for the album!
I'd like to try it with the bottom cropped to just above the knees of
big brother. The softness is distracting to me.

OH..I see. I agree, that is way too tight.
I had in mind a horizontal in a aspect ratio approximating that of 4X6.
No left right crop, just the bottom.
Actually, you have a really nice shot here and one that needs no
fixing.
