 This is my son PJ (age 6) wearing a mis-matched dress shirt and tie with a sport coat that's a little big on him. I put a pair of sunglasses on him, handed him my cell phone, and told him to look out our front picture window. About 10 shots later, and this is what I liked the best. Only post editing was cloning out some of the distracting reflections in the glasses (I decided to leave the window), and resizing for the competition. That's it--so much for advanced editing! Shot in AP mode cranked down to f/1.6 to blur out the fact this was taken in my living room. I'm hoping this will do better than my first competition entry, so let's see what happens...

great idea! made me smile...
regarding the photo: if he's a tycoon in the making, i'd like to have seen him captured in a more powerful image...either through a dramatic angle or composition. i would also like to se no reflection in the glasses, or a reflection that further supports the tycoon idea (e.g. stacks of money or something). i like how he is lit, and i like the accessories for this shot.
