photography challenge: chevron

Apparently I am not a trendy designer... not a lick of "chevron" anything in my whole house!  I had to dig out a piece of fabric I knew I had in my stash somewhere, then decided to stick something in front of it.  In this case, that something is my sweet 7 year old boy, who only gave me two shots to get it right.  The fabric is SUPER bright, but because of it being blurred in the background, the colors turned out very muted.  I like it much better in black and white, where the colors don't look washed out because there is no color!  Learned something about what that blurred background effect will do to a bright patterny background.  Love learning!
