Lovely shot, cute boy. I love the strange combination of wardrobe - so absolutely in the realm of childhood.

Such a cutie! I would have liked to see both eyes in focus (his left seems slightly blurred for effect), but that's just a personal preference. I love the juxtaposition of the hat and the PJs...the hat makes him seem older and sophisticated, the PJs young and playful.

Cute shot. its so tough at times because kids dont stand in front of plain background, but you isolate the subject well here.

Ha! I believe my son has the exact same pyjamas. A lovely portrait. You’ve captured a great expression. I agree with Bear and feel this has a better balance if most of the space above his hat was cropped.

@pamb hes with me tonight and the weekend so i'll reshoot it hehe might dress him up with shirt and tie :) this was just a "snap shot" albeit with a reflector and the hat prop while we were playing in the front room :) behind is my photowall :)

yep hes going to be dangerous but very respectful to the girls when hes older :) got 51 more shoots to go though hehe

Absolutely adore that hat! I would like to see this again with a couple of minor changes: slightly greater dof so both eyes are in focus, non-'descriptive' shirt (no brand names/logos) and a little bit of clean up of the left over breakfast/dinner around his mouth. He is very much the cutie and no doubt will have the girls swooning in a few years.

super cute kid. great shot.
the photo has a real nostalgia feel to it - I blame the hat - very junior rat pack.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That works really well. I happened to notice it works even BETTER if you crop off about half the space above the hat... Lovely, human shot.

Oh my gosh - adorable! I like the shallow depth of field. Does he have red pajamas, by chance? There's a challenge you might want to shoot for.

What a cutie. Love the hat and PJ combo.

Wonderful tones and composition.... point of focus isn't perfect, but you've got a very nice image here.

I'd like to see a little sharper focus on his gorgeous eyes. Lovely photo.

I like the contrast between the hat and shirt, and the half smiling face in between.

Lovely soft portrait and nice conversion to B&W. Perhaps the front of his shirt is a bit too "in focus"

Awesome shot!

Every kid likes Thomas!!! Nice job focusing those almond eyes while using shallow DoF.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

it was shot handheld at f1.4 so dof is very thin indeed, with silver reflector to the left side.

think its more the jpeg conversion, me wobbling and dof than any post processing. only pp was to convert to bw using topaz labs and cloned out a slight scratch on the bridge of his nose

A sweet child indeed, Giles. I shall look forward to seeing how he
looks in pictures for the next year.

Interesting that you chose to give his face a touch of soft focus.

What a pretty child - I can see the girls will have to watch out in a few years from now :-) (Oh, the photograph is also nice ;-))
