It's a long drive back from NYC, so I didn't have a lot of time and energy to play with this one. By chance, the first filter that came up when I loaded the Filter Gallery was Watercolor. It had a nice effect. It darkened the extraneous background, so the focus is squarely on Aidan and his concentration in blowing out the candles. It also heightened the flames and the wisp of smoke from the one extinguished candle. At the same time, the whole photo is softened a bit. I decided just to go with this one.

    What a great photo that shows great determination to blow out all of those candles. Spend as much time as you can with that precious grandson.

    I think the filter made it a bit more dramatic plus it darkened the background to draw attention towards the birthday boy! Great image!

    Bobbie, the watercolor filter was a great choice for this photo. I especially like what it did to Aidan's face...a wonderful effect!

    Bobbie, I love your filter use. I have tried several because of you. I'm just not comfortable with them yet. This picture is a good composition. I too like his expression. That's what it's all about to me. Good job

    The effect of the watercolor filter is perfect on this one. Like Barb, I'm trying new filters because I love the effects that you come up with. This was a good shot made superb.
