Re: PESO & Enablement: Mattis Bendix and the DFA 100
Ecke, You caught a great expression! Even before reading that you asked about cropping, - I thought that I'd crop about 1/5th from the right - to the most left point of a brownish box ro something in the background, or even slightly to the left of that point - most likely right around the beginning of the shoulder. I love my DFA-100.

Re: PESO & Enablement: Mattis Bendix and the DFA 100
Thank you for the kind comment, Igor. You're referring to the back rest of the baby chair - I kinda had the same idea with the option of editing it out because I like the free space to the right.

Re: PESO & Enablement: Mattis Bendix and the DFA 100
Hi Ecke: Terrific expression! White balance shows up a bit yellow on my monitor, but YMMV. I'd crop a bit from the right to get rid of that thing on the right. You have a beautiful son.

Ecke, Lovely and a beautiful child. I would consider a square crop, removing the right side. Regards, Bob S.

Re: PESO & Enablement: Mattis Bendix and the DFA 100
Thanks Christine & Bob Added a crop that isn't all square but has a little more room on the right; closer to what Igor suggested. Square would take a thin slice off the ear. Not sure if I should go closer and ignore the strand of hair I took as the limit.

You're right. Two sand beige walls. Chose daylight setting over AWB which tends to go bluishgreenish in there. Another reason to learn Lightroom I guess.

Nice shot. I'd crop it at the intersection of his sleeve and the chair in the background. If you were to do it in black and white it would almost look like one of those headshots of business executives. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.

Re: PESO & Enablement: Mattis Bendix and the DFA 100
Thank you Larry, appreciate the feedback =) Will try b/w as you suggest but WB needs work first; conversion looks oversaturated. Couldn't agree more about the DFA100, have the 50 too and think it will be FS soon... Extra DOF doesn't justify keeping it for handheld and I have a bellows for tripod shots.
