XMas gift for mom & dad

[BuS_RiDeR]

I know its a little soft... My shutter was set a bit slow...

But do you think my parents would like this framed for xmas? Its my sister's family.

B&W or Sepia? I am leaning towards the B&W.

I like the b&w better Do me a favor and make sure she doesn't plan on giving this as a gift too, my mother took pictures off my facbook and is giving them to my grandmother for Christmas.. They are pictures I was going to give them. This picture does belong to you though so I guess its a bit different! Definitely the black and white though

Well, I'd be leaning more towards the B&W, too, if I were you.
A little soft as it is from the start, it seems to look even softer with the reduced contrasts in the sepia version.
And I am sure your mother will love to get it as a present - a little enlarged and framed. (Don't know how far you can go with the enlargement with this one).

I'm biased towards sepia tone: hate it.
B&W is nicer but the contrast has got to be toned down. The whites are so blown out, and the blacks are too intense, you want to conserve detail.

I agree with Sbuxo...the contrast is escessive....gotta,gotta get those white shirts toned down! And her black jeans, lightened up a bit. I'm positive they'll like the picture. The kids look adorable in it, Uncle BuS_RiDeR!

Thanks for the input folks.

I have taken your advice and toned down the brightness/contrast a bit. And I have decided on the B&W

Now I just have to decide on a print size.

I think if he straightens it anymore then hes going to cut her foot off.
