Such a nice and warm photo. It will be precious in 10-15 years from now.

It could be the vignetted frame was too much dark... I will check it in more than one monitor and probably I upload a corrected version of this image. Thanks for your feeback Tom.

Daniel this is a lovely and genuinely effective double portrait that has the essential ingredient of interaction between the two. A great photo that is (in my own personal reaction for which I apologize in advance) marred by the dark cloud surrounding the otherwise youthfully optimistic, guileless expressions on the faces of the kids.

Thanks Carole, Chirstakis and Brent for your nice comments. In fact these kids are not brothers but they seem to be (they are always together). About vignetting, some people use the gradient tool, but I prefer my own way:

1) make a new layer and paint it black. This layer has to be the upper one.
2) add a mask to this black layer.
3) draw an ellipse using the elliptical markee tool inside the mask.
4) paint black inside the elliptical selection.
5) apply gaussian blur to the mask adjusting the radius as your taste.
6) adjust levels inside the mask and the opacity of this vignetting layer as your taste.

I hope it helps you Carole :-).

What a terrific picture of "forever" friends Daniel! These two cuties must be on the same team judging by their jackets. Very nice PP. How do you do your vignetting? I like it! :-)

This is a very nice candid shot Daniel. I really like your PP. You got some real good skills there. This shot is ready to be printed on canvas if you ask me :)

Very well done Daniel, they really do look like two great friends- maybe too much so to be brothers?

Thanks people for commenting. And Thank you Rod and Jill for having noticed such a subtle details. And you were right Jill, these kids were playing basket.

the friendship really shines through - lots of love and affection here Daniel

Daniel a delightful candid pic of clearly two close friends. Love the flush on the RHS ones cheecks, the damp hair on both, from what appears to have just been a good ball game. Great.

they look like best buddies! Nice one.

What an excellent picy & great skin tones. They look to be great mates & the naturalness of the boys shines through. This is a real goodun Daniel, well done.
