Hi Ib! I prefer this version, the color balance is better. What a very nice portrait! :)

Cheers Fred, I'm very fond of this, as the boy is striking and the Velvia brings the colours to pop! The original was too 'warm' and red.

and still awaiting your reply Fred!!! :) By the way, the site seems to be dying a death again - no one seems to be rating or commenting bar yourself and Dan

I sent you already some small answers, but I can't find the courage to write you as much and as well as you for now, I still don't find the mood for it :/ About the site, yes, it is too bad that almost not anybody cares on it... people have some kinds of business elsewhere... but WE are still here! :)

Cheers Nadi and Nigel! I doubt it'll even make the Local guardian free paper though! :)
