Isabelle meets Ryan

Isabelle meets Ryan, originally uploaded by billaday.

Michelle & Danny finally had a boy. After nine months, Ryan is alive and well. Here's Isabelle meeting him.

Processing note: hospital light is pretty bad, and I didn't want to use a flash (since Ryan was just one day old). To solve this, I used Exposure (Photoshop plug-in made by Alien Skin) and applied a sepia mid-band split. It give you lots of control over highlights, shadows, and intensity of sepia-ness. Without these tweaks, I would have tossed this shot (even though it captures an important moment). But now I love it.
