| Great subject, but no Wow - it could use a little tweaking. |

B/W Club!
this is a great photo. the full-frame works well, and the focus and composition are dead-on.
like others have said, it is quite dull and gray. i plan to use this as an example for the group because there is a TON of potential here that we can draw out. you'll have a real winner of a print on your hands soon! |

(I'm going to ignore the cute model, composition, dof in favor of B&W aspects) :)
I would agree with Kavey that the shot is overall dark with no punch - no pure black or white. No strong separation of subjects and areas of the photo - gives a blended, cloudy feel. I think this is what leads me to feel no drama or draw to the photo. |

Here are my observations in no particular order:
- Focus is on the wooden pole infront of the child rather than on the child. This is a big point for me and definitely is the one thing thta stands out most strongly.
- Does the pole have significance to the image contents? If not I'd suggest excluding it.
- The image overall is quite dark though you do have some natural highlights so it's not wrongly exposed - I don't know if this darkness is deliberate but it doesn't draw me in - perhaps throwing a touch more light onto the child's face might make it more attention grabbing?
- Eye contact is good - that provides a connection between subject and viewer.

| Aw...poor kid! Nice pic. Could use a little more focus on the baby and less on the rail. |
