This was taken as an experiment in off camera lighting in portraits. I used my flash and a cheap eBay collapsible softbox. I changed it to B&W to hide the distracting wall in the BG but it turned out to be my favourite photo of my boy. I had it printed on metallic paper and it looks awesome hanging in the hallway :) (5 years and 2615 days ago)

great portrait
Thanks Friiskiwi - I sent a framed copy to both sets of grandparents, they love it too (but I supoose they're biased huh
)
Lovely to see this boy again, it was to get photo like this I suggested the contest. Normally he would have been too recognisable.
Thank Friiskiwi, I guess he's one of my most photographed subjects
He is usually very willing when I am trying something new. I am glad you suggested this comp so that I could share it - otherwise he is to recognisable like you said 
Wonderful shot... the B&W really suits it
Thanks very much Kyricom
Congratulations, well deserved win
I was so suprised at the result, my first thought was OMG, I can't believe it. It was lovely news after a crappy day at work - thank so much for your support Friiskiwi
Howdie stranger!
