Critique Club Comment :
Composition : The 'suggestion of thirds' worked well here, adding to the child's face as the main focus. The crop seems a little tight at the head and toes. And the rug (welcome mat?) in the background kept pulling me off the child's face. Expressions like the one he has are priceless and need to be photographed... It's just a shame that kids won't do those expressions when they have better backgrounds... I've taken to telling my daughter (4) "Don't be cute right now, there are power-lines behind you"... But she just says "Stop being so silly Dad"... You can't win :)
Exposure : The light from the window at the left overexposed the rug a little, but not too bad.
Focus / DoF : You can count the stitches in the knit sweater so I'd have to say Focus is not a problem here :)
Post Processing : It does seem a little grainy / noisey... There is a program (I think it's called NeatImage) that might help clean it up a bit.
Challenge / Interest : Personally I think you should have gone with your honorable mention song title. When I saw the title, the next line popped into my head (every time) 'Though I never laid a hand on you' and it didn't fit as well as "Just the Two of Us" would have. But that's way to picky... Don't listen to me.
My opinion : I have to ask... Is this the same child as in "Mommy's Joke on Dad" reflection entry? If so, he is getting so Big! It's amazing watching the kids grow up here :) |

| This image is a little noisy. To correct this, use a program such as neat image. jgillard5 |

| Cute kid! I think another angle would have worked better though. The rug can be distracting. 6 |

| There is a lot of potential here. However, the rug at the upper right distracts and competes for attention due to the brightness of the rug, and the lower light levels on the child's face and body. Fill flash would have helped. The dark object at left intrudes into the picture and either needs to gone (best) or more a part (if needed because the child doesn't yet walk). The crop is very tight. The tip of the head is cut off, and the feet and leaf are in danger of dissapearing. The window at left also is an intrusion because of the brightness and angles. However the leaf, the general body language and especially the expression of the child, are priceless. In a different setting (which would be easiest) this could easily become a 10. As is, I'm voting an 8 on this one. |

| His skin looks grainy like a scan. Strange because the rest of the pic looks pretty okay. - BB |

| Face looks grainy and perhaps slightly out of focus. |
