Jackson Portraits

Ahh.. rough and rougher. There's just something about the manipulated photo that I find more sensitive and meaningful than just a straight shot, but I would have appreciated a bit more "clarity" with these because the subject is my grandson. While the brighter one of the two seems more "grungy", I think the pose and the point of view offer a kind of "uplifting" image. The other one, darker and more somber, has somewhat of a lonely feeling to it, with the plain background, the striped trousers and the single soda bottle as a toy.
