Standing in the rain 

Ofboðslega er þetta falleg mynd

úff þú ættir að sjá hann þessa dagana!!! Hann er að springa úr fegurð - spring úr hlátri sko - hógvær móðir!!! Hann er enn svo mikill knúsari, alltaf eitthvað að koma og knúsa og kremja okkur :o)

What a nice b/w picture!

Thank you :o)

mig langar að sjá meira af þessari fallegu hönd sem hann heldur í - ekki þar fyrir, hann er náttúrlega alltaf sama fíneríið þessi drengur --- er bergmál hérna inni :)

hm - höndin er svolítið "unnin" er sko ekki svona gróf í alvörunni.... :o) hann er fínastur og flottastur þessi ungalíus (Kristinn Logi fann upp á hann það fína viðurnefni "Rassabúddi" og OMG við erum alveg að passa okkur að láta það ekki festast við hann fliss :o)

Mig grunaði það svo sem, en falleg er hún. Sem sagt, ég vil sjá meira og búddúlíus, bjútílíus, öskurlíus þarf ekkert að vera með :)

Svakalega er hann krúttlegur drengurinn! :D Gaman að sjá svona rigningarmynd...

æ nó, hann er að springa úr krúttheitum!!! glott :o)

beautiful portrait!!!

Thanks so much :o)

tres belle Photo, le post traitement sombre laisse penser a un jour pluvieu.
A qui est cette main qu'il tien ?

Now you went a little overboard regarding my French :o) something about the post treatment??? :o) (I understand tres belle Photo though :o) :o) thanks)

hihihi, sorry :D
I have said the dark post treatment look like a raining day, it's a good choice ;)
Who is this hand ?

The hand belongs to his grandmother (which I made look older then it really is :o) Thanks for the translation..... :o)

Wonderful expression in his face and a real strong hand... Great shot!

Thanks - I personally really like it also :o)

Mjög hugsi Alexander, langar greinilega en rosalega er hann varkár!

Alveg rétt hjá þér, þú veist hvernig hann er :o)

Wonderfull ! He is so cute !

I happen to agree :o) :o) LOL - he is so soft and cute and soft and and hihihi THANKS...

Ahhh, you caught a great moment here!

Hi John, nice to see you and yes - he was watching the other "boys" really wanting to take part in their Action LOL.....

Skemmtileg!!!

Takk fyrir Kristinn :o)

He's just excited as his brothers, isn't he? And he would like to fight at their side - and at the same time he's happy to hold his father's (?) hand...
Very very cute! What a beautiful boy!!!

Thank you so much - I am so proud of all my boys :o) Alexander Hrafn is very shy though and really thinks seriously about all the steps he takes in life, funny as that is not even 2 years old :o) This is actually his grandmothers hand (which I made look older than in reality :o)

Hello Ragnheidur, I'm an admin of the group Ipernity Frontpage & What's Hot. It would be great if you would add this doc to our group. Thank you!

Thanks Reinhard :o)

Super!

Thanks :o)

Beautiful portrait, the rain and that old hand give a very special sensation of safety..... One more time, i's beautiful

Thank you so much, really appreciated :o)

A wonderful portrait shot!

Thanks Ólafur (which is Olaf in Icelandic :o)

Great great shot!

:o) thank you SO much...

wonderful portrai!

Thank you :o)

Sooo beautiful, as always..

And a beautiful family too!

Thanks so much :o)

Fantastic portrait! He enjoys watching the scene, not sure if he wants to be part of it;)...love the tonality.

Seen in a user home page (?)

You are absolutely correct, he would probably not take part in actions like this - he is SO careful :o) Thanks Ulf for your nice comment :o)

This is a marvellous piece of work! The B/W treatment has really captured your son's whistful expression. The older hand seems more like a statue, due to the colour filter for the B/W. Great texture! :)

I really appreciate your comments :o) Thank you so much, really!!! I liked the drops on his face so much and they were so much clearer after I made the shot B&W...

very emotional impression.......

He has so many sweet AND funny looks this little fellow - he is really shy and when he notices one looking at him he either closes his eyes or looks away REALLY funny :o)

superb

thanks :o)

Wonderful portrait, Raga. The detail is amazing, even if the sharpening is a but on the heavy side, especially for the hair. I like the dark tones too.

Thanks - I actually did that on purpose because of the drops :o) My ps skills are limited so I don´t know how to sharpen only a part of the picture without it looking awful :o) :o)

Well, you usually don't have a need to Photoshop your pics very much because they're great out of the box :-) I on the other hand have to PS almost all of them to compensate for my poor photography :-(

As for the sharpening: of course you can sharpen only what you want. Use selections, or duplicate the layer, sharpen the top layer and then erase the parts you don't want in that layer, so the unsharpened bottom layer shows thru.

Or do it the other way around: put the sharpened layer beneath the normal layer, then erase only the parts where you want the sharpening to show, in this case his cheeks with the water drops.

Or use any of the other zillion ways in Photoshop to get the same effect :-)

What do you say about coming over :) The thing is those fr... layers - they don´t seem to want to cooperate with me :o) REALLY....

Well, you're the one with the plane, so why don't you pick me up :-)

what a beautiful BW photo, and you have the cutest kids ever. he's so adorable :-) and i love that hand holding his.

Thank you so much and I REALLY think so to LOL - he is sooooo cute :) I can actually sit and watch him all day and all night thinking OMG how is this possible :o) :o)

listamannssál - viðkvæmur og yndislegur ;)

æ já, hann er ósköp viðkvæmur eitthvað og yndislegur líka :o)

Algjör rúsína þessi litli "rassabúddi" þinn.
Ég er stödd í Minneapolis núna og afi hans Arngrímur var samferða mér út - til að ná í sjóflugvélina. Hann sýndi mér myndir af henni - og ég stóðst náttúrulega ekki mátið og fór að hrósa þér og þínum myndum. Hann var hógvær en er greinilega stoltur af sinni á því sviði.
Kær kveðja.

:o) Hann er svoooo spenntur að koma vélinni heim loksins - fæ smá svona updeit daglega núna og ég heyri brosið hans í gegnum símann (þrátt fyrir veðurteppu í dag og minniháttar uppákomur)þessi

En þessi drengur er algjör gull klumpur - mjúkur og fallegur að innan sem utan (híhí, hógvær eins og pabbi - fliss)... takk Gúnna....
