I like the juxtaposition of the tough dad and little girl. It̢۪s nice that the future plumber is off center; this positioning keeps the viewers eye's moving and engaged. I like the view in the angle of the dad's elbow.
I would have liked to see this image with the elbow in full and the person beside the man out of the frame.
Unfortunately the sky is a blown out, which can easily happen when:
Shooting in as contrasty environment as you were (shade and dark subjects contrasted against a sunny sky);
Shooting on automatic which caused your camera to meter the setting's light metering which unfortunately isn't great, regardless of the quality of the camera. I'm guessing your camera's light meter took a reading from the dark tones of the girl and man and because they were dark tried to adjust the exposure so that light would reach these subjects so they would be visible. When this happens, the camera exposes the sky as if it were also dark and since it's not, it becomes blown out—the only way to really fix this problem is to use a hand held light meter, or take a bunch of test shots and find the right shutter and aperture for your scene which is surely the more cost effective approach;
Also, I would guess you are probably shorter than the man, based on the angle, maybe if you had stepped back a bit you wouldn't have had to angle your camera up so much and therefore could have avoided including the sky in the shot.
Great photo! Keep it up!
Cheers and all the best,

| lacking vital detail and crispness and the hand/fingers in the right hand corner is distracting. |

| LOL ok you made me laugh.. and you did it while meeting the challenge great job. Nice job, The photo has nice lighting and contrast however. I fee that it is to grainy for thias particular subject. Pehaps a quick run through neat image would have helped. I just feel that the skin on the babies butt, and back should look silky smooth. I know probably a stereo type, but that what come to mind for me.. overall nice image, very well done. |
