What should I do with this photograph?

[Brazen]

I snapped this photo of my kid, and now the family is saying I should "do something" with it. Check it out here. (http://dinkelmanor.atotchat.org/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=2&g2_itemId=52)

Sorry, if you use IE6, the template is messed up and you have to scroll down (Firefox looks fine).

I think the family is talking about submitting to a contest or magazine or something, but I'm open to any ideas, and any criticism. I think it's pretty neat (just a "random" photo I took and decided to b&w it), but of course, I'm partial.

TBH, I would prefer to use it in some sort of F/OSS-benificial way, but nothing comes to mind. Really, I just figured I would put this out here to show off my kid and my stroke of photographic luck (it really was luck, not any sort of creativity; he was sunbathing to help with jaundice).

Wonderful image! I would rotate it about 1 or 2 degrees counter clockwise.
You did get lucky - in more ways than one.

If you have PS or GIMP, touch it up a little bit. That's a very nice picture.

Gimp it! (this really should become a trademark promoting Gimp)

leave it exactly as is...it is perfect....blow it up into a large size, have it specially framed....make a limited number of signed copies.....maybe 10 and sell them exclusively to high-end art galleries and ask for a minimum of $10, 000 to $20, 000 dollars each....then put any money you make away for your beautiful child's college fund...

perhaps invest in a RothIRA in his name so the investment is enough to carry your baby through grad school...

I'm an optimist.;)

try GIMPshop then.

try GIMPshop then.

Photoshop confuses the heck out of me just as bad, if not worse. (So I don't think GIMPshop will be any better)

...then in 20 years time when the new girlfriend comes for dinner to meet the family, you can say "hey, come see this, guess how we paid his college fund!"
