Comment by ubique:
Top two. A scorching picture that skirts around my usual preference for non-contrived portraits by being a parody of itself. Something like Lou Reed: the parody and the reality are interchangeable, so equally valid. Thank you, and have an Order of the Thumb:

Comment by blindjustice:
Pretty good finish for a good shot; perhaps, as a straight up portrait, the background squiggly-ness and left side negative space could be erased- for the score to improve, perhaps. But the shot is good, and its your vision, thats what matters.

Comment by HawkinsT:
Interesting, I like the background and processing... not quite sure what emotion the model's expression is meant to evoke though, I find it a bit confused.

Thomas the train, ASDA strikes back I suppose :) My boy loves that shirt. Nice portrait, I like the single light lighting. Not sure if that's a problem and didn't try myself, but a piece of foam or cardboard around the flash could have helped reducing spillage of light on your backdrop.

Ok, now I know it's a softbox and a small gobo would have not helped, my bad :)

Very nice portrait of an adorable child. I wish you could have eliminated the shadowy background though, since it takes my eye away from his cute face.
