I like this one very much. Almost everything about it except for the colour of the outer border. High score anyway.

Comment by catpixel:
the perspective appears somewhat distorted, as if cropped unevenly.

Nice macro! Not sure what the reflective thing is. Don't think I like the 'gold' fours. But the focus is impressively dead on. (8)

Great shot - nice perspective and composition. I don't know what I'm seeing on top but it's interesting.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Phil,

This is a great portrait photo. I really like the concept of the blue hockey jersey as well... I believe the desaturation on this particular image may be a little awkward possibly. The blue seems to be a little more dominant than I would like, IMO. The smile you captured here and the pose are both great :) I think this shot probably had just as much potential in full color :)

I don't think there is anything I would change at all on the composition or the technical aspects of the shot. This perspective looks great :) I wonder if a hockey stick propped up behind your subject would add a nice 'serendipity' to the image? Who knows...

I think the oversized jersey on the child is an excellent idea...

Keep up the good work :)

John Setzler

I thought the plural to leaf was leaves. He sure is a cute kid. I don't usually like B&W portraites but it is ok here. Good sharp, clear, well focused and cropped photo. The kid is a 10 and the photo is a 9. Way to go. Color would have been a 10. PTL

Well, I can't say I agree with the title, but I like the contrasts here, nice shot! (ps Go Wings!) ; )
