Wonderful image of childhood curiosity, might look good in sepia as well
Nicole Goggins replied
great idea – i did try it in b & w and liked the colour better, but sepia would look good… thanks

The image is almost 100% perfect! The black outline around your nephew throws the image of just slightly. Also the different tones on his face arms and legs. Besides that this is a awesome and outstanding piece of work, which goes to my favorites!

I love the horizontal and vertical lines in the background (and the tones) of this and, as others have said, it captures the ‘boy’ personality so well. He looks completely absorbed.
