I do have another shot of Finley that I'll probably publish later this week. It was taken a few seconds before my previous entry, and clearly shows that he was enjoying his sledge ride. By the time this one was taken though he'd been covered in flying snow and then crashed at the end of the run. As he's generally not the bravest little lad in the world, he was rather upset – as you can see from his rather forlorn expression. I should add though that a few seconds later he was fine ago, and running back to the top of the hill for another go :)
As usual, if you're interested, the original is here:

Again really beautiful post-proccesing. I really like the eyes and the little poor fellow's expression. :)

Again, absolutely fantastic - no need for words here, Finley's expression says it all. And as usual, the PP is perfect, blah blah...what's new? :o)

great shot dave... interesting that you needed to bump the iso up to 200 when shooting in snowy conditions with the lens fairly wide open

His eyes are amazing. Great processing.

Was this done in LAB Dave? I clearly haven't figured that space out yet.
comment byDan Kaufman at 04:10 PM (GMT) on 1 February, 2010
But what a brave Dad you are !! Shots between the tears LOL !!
And yes too, your post-processing is superb. I love how you brought the saturation of everything down while retaining such realistic clarity in the details.
comment byMichael at 06:20 PM (GMT) on 1 February, 2010
You really want me to buy that tutorial don't you? LOL!
Don't worry, I full plan on doing so. :) Great job, as usual.
comment byMichael at 06:21 PM (GMT) on 1 February, 2010
*fully* plan on doing so.

Thanks everyone :)
Steve: it was quite late in the day, and overcast, hence the low light levels.
Kevin: no, though I can see why you might think that it was processed in LAB. In this case though I desaturate the image using the Channel Mixer then added a slight tone using a Curve.
Michael: I'm glad to hear it :)
