Hi Ellen! I just wanted to tell you that this is my overall favourite picture from this challenge. He reminds me of a very young Stevie Ray Vaughan. I love the expression on his face...very beautiful. Congratulations on your top ten finish! I would frame this one. :)

Congratulations Ellen. This is such a sweet picture and made me smile when I saw it. The fact he really does play makes this a priceless photo for your family.

Wow! How totally awesome! This is as good as winning a ribbon, I tell ya! Can't wait to show my son (he's sleepin right now) how his portrait placed. He told me earlier tonight that he wants to be the greatest guitar player in the world, he's taking lessons, and he practices every day. I'm so very proud of him! :-D

Thank you all so much for your votes and more importantly, your comments!!!

Like the selective focus in this one and the peaceful dreamy expression on the boy's face.

This is such a sweet photo. It looks like you did some selective blurring, so I'll be back to see how you accompllished this after the challenge. Don't get me wrong, I love the blurring. It really enhances the photo by bringing you attention straight to the chlilds face and to the guitar. 9
