I have been roaming the football sidelines all fall and haven't posted anything of my grandson. He is pictured #24 with some of his teammates during a game this year. He has grown quite a bit since my first days on Caedes. He will be 16 in December and is anxious to hit the road in his pickup truck.

I got the idea to try something like this from this post by the Count. (biffobear) I wondered how it would look had he not used the effect on the bridge. Rather then use his image, I chose one of my own. I hope you like this. His mother and brothers approved. So did his Grandma! :)

I have never seen anything like this in SI. Someone should put a bug in their ear! This is outstanding, Tick. Love the fractalius.

Well it shows he's a standout but I think you and grandma knew that! The effect works well as a highlighter I think.

This is a touchdown in my book, TicK. He really stands out from the crowd with this type of editing.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

He stands out so well against that background Tick. It was a good idea and it worked out very well.

This is so neat, Tick. The fractalius effect used on the other players places more emphasis on your grandson ... like susanlynn said, "your grandson is in the spotlight". I bet your whole family is very proud of his accomplishments over the years & he's awesome on the playing field too. Creative work!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
