Great shot! Needs a little more cropping at the top to get rid of the curve.
Good saturation. |

Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil
Composition - Nicely composed picture. The boy looks very natural where he is and you've framed him in very well with the blue oval. I think the blue is turned up just a little much because I think the brightness of the colors makes us divert our attention from the boy. Cute little kid though. I wish this were framed on the whole just a little more to the right so he's not so "crowded" on the left side. Also cropping just a sliver off the top would lose the little bit of the hole that is showing.
Technical - Just a touch out of focus, which in here and mean quite a bit in terms of the voters. You can get away with it a little, but only to a point. It seems very hard to get past 6 without being crystal clear. The exposure and DOF and all that stuff look great. I would however not saturate the blues so heavily.
Overall - Cute photo. Not a bad one either. This sort of subject has a scoring cap on it though due to all the "cute haters" out there who think cliche is very bad. Cliche pics are great, if they are done well. I hate to see photos not do as well as they should due to these people. But we all have our opinions. Good work and good luck - Inspzil |

| He is a true cutie. Love the fact that his eyes match the surrounding areas. He looks a tiny but out of focus, but I still really like the photo |

| I like this picture very much. I like how it's off center, and the blue colour is beautiful. The little boy's face seems a bit out of focus, in particular the eyes need to be clearer. Good job. |

| Cute little guy. The framing on this pic, both where you cropped it and with the circle in the background, really work. Nice job |

| If the choice of outfit for this shot was planned, this shot is fabulous. If it wasn't - great luck! :) Either way, good show. 8 |

| How Cute! The only thing I would change is to crop the top a little lower to eliminate the curve on the top and have just a solid blue to keep your eye on the focal point. Nice job. |

| nice shot just would have cropped the top off just above thethe oval just about where the darker blue edge starts. It helps to focus on the llttle boy's face ,your eye isn't drawn off to the light part on the upper left. |

| I like this one a lot. I would recommend a slightly tighter crop on the top to remove that indentation. But very good despite just one color as the main focus. |

| This is great. I love the way you centered his body in the circle. I wish the background - the clear, not the blue - Had been a more solid color. Also the little ripple at the top distracts a little bit. |

| Good use of natural framing here, the different tones of blue stand out prominently. Good shot. |

| I feel you are soft on the focus of the little fellow. Without him being very sharp the blue overpowers him. 6 |

| Very good image. Very good photo quality. I really like the concept of blue that you used and how you used it in your photo. Good job. |

| Looks like he isn't to happy about being your model. Needs a touch more focus on hime and a little more croping to remove that top distraction. |

| I love the blue in this picture, matches his expression, but I wish his right hand was a bit more in focus. |

| The face could be sharper. |

| What a great face, nice shot. Little snapshot looking and could use more focus and light. Love the colors and of course he's a doll. |

| Good job! I think if the focus could have been on the child's face especially the blue eyes this would really stand above the crowd. |
