Bedtime story

[stevet1]

"Mommy, there's a monster outside my bedroom window."

"It's okay little Timmy. Go back to bed. It was just a bad dream."

"But mommy..."

"Go back to bed Timmy. I'll sing you a lullaby."

*Rock a bye baby, on the tree top.
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all"

And Timmy mutters under his breath, "Gee thanks. That makes me feel 100% better about the whole situation."

Hi stevet1,

I like it better in black and white!  Nice shot.

Joe,

Thank you. I do too.

That's actually a converted shot. I took it at night and later, in post processing, converted it to black and white. I cropped it on the right, so he's still lit up, even though he's not in the center of the frame any more. I used center-weighted averaging and a white balance of 3900K. 

I think I like that approach, and will experiment with it some.
