Adorable. Love the tight crop. I'd kill the pink border.

Funny, I'm not very bothered about the softness of his face. The first thing that drew me to this is his expression and the softness seems almost natural since energy is not static but rather fluid (hope that makes sense). I didn't even notice the hair till I read your comments. Anyway my point is that, I'd focused on his face and crop out the other bits. This photo is all about the kid's expression, not his hair. The background is distracting and doesn't do his face justice. Just my thought.

Minx! Now did she do that on her own or did you ask her to? Nice shot either way.

This is really a wonderful crisp portrait and it would have been much better if the red curtain filled up the white space on the right (guess you can't help that). Alternatively, you could do a slightly tighter crop up to his shoulders and that would solve the problem. :) The kid's expression is something to behold - such pride in what he's doing!

What a great capture. I love the look on this little boy's face. The whole album is great, really.

The focus on the center girl, the innocence, it almost makes me want to be a little girl again (almost, but not quite!). I liked it the first time I saw it, and over time, it has really grown on me. If I'm feeling down, I know I can look here and this image will bring a smile to my face. These reasons are all part of why I made this picture a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
