Not very exciting, sorry.

For what it's worth, the boys left foot should be flat on teh floor. he is young enough to be supple enough to do that and it will imporve his game no end, and stop him topping the ball. The right arm shoudl eb tucked in a bit more, he is chicken winging a bit.

Great shoudler turn though! Wish I had started thsi young ;)

Good luck.

Comment by quadangle:
This image has a lot of noise (grainy-looking) and is very lacking in color fidelity (range of tonal values like the grey scale below). Composition-wise, the problem is the grasshopper is looking away from us; it's a butt-shot! Move around to the front of the grasshopper next time and shoot from a slightly lower angle.

Interesting subject and setting. A bit more space at the top and right would improve the composition. And it really needs some post-processing to reduce the noise, increase the contrast, and correct the color cast.

So Here's Your Problem....

Shannon,

Definitely a fun shot, but it needs a boost on the brightness/contrast and a bit of a sharpen. Also might be fun to see how it looks in BW (try this with and without boosting the contrast) and I agree with the comment someone made in your thread that it needs a bit of a crop to put the focus/attention of the shot on the interplay between the child and the adult. :)

Hope that helps!
