The picture needs to be cropped in some. This shot could have been really good if the kid and mother took up more of the shot.

If it had been possible to get just the child's face so that it filled up the frame, that would have been hilarious.

Lighting is good, but the contrast need a bit of adjustmet to capture the full tonal range. The clutter in the background and the empty space on top should be cropped out. The childs expressing is priceless

too much wall, not enough baby.

Personally I would have cropped this pic below the picture holder on the wall andjust to the right of the cup with the heart. Also added more light.

This falls into the shapshot category for me, not because of the subject but because of the softness of the focus and the distracting elements such as the cord hanging down the wall

Love the angle and the look on Mum's and baby's face. I'm torn between the format, I'm not sure whether the vertical works or whether I'd prefer a landscape format just with the lower half of the picture. In any case, the hook in the wall and the pull-thingy from the shutters is distracting. Also, the image is a tad soft for my liking (unless you were going for that) and could do with just a little more contrast in my opinion. I did an experiment this week by posting reedits (hope you don't mind). Let me know what you think.

Cute baby, oof picture.

IMO this would be better if cropped and just the child - the wall, rope(?) p&j jars on table are too distracting, just the child eating that toast would have been a great photo! what a cutie.

Nice family moment. I like the use of space.
06/04/2002 03:38:00 PM
If you cut off the top to just above their heads and get that line out of the shot I think it would be a little better.
06/04/2002 03:29:00 AM
Closer. The faces and toast are all that's really necessary in this image. The rest is just distractions.

Almost has a still-life quality to it. Well-composed.
06/03/2002 05:25:00 PM
Neat b&w. Composition could use some correction. More focus on the baby and less on the blank/dead wall. However, I like this shot. I'm a sucker for cute kids/moms and real life shots. Nice job.
06/03/2002 03:38:00 PM
I'm not sure I understand why you left so much head room. I think if you'd gone with a 640x480 vs. 480x640 and gotten rid of the cord in the background... this would have been a much better shot. Nice expression/face stuff by the kid!
06/03/2002 03:35:00 PM
Very sweet... I wish you had cropped a bit more. As the picture came up on my screen, I first saw the nail in the wall above their heads, and I thought the title (breakfast) referred to a fly on the wall or something.
06/03/2002 02:07:00 PM
Realy needs focusing or sharpening, makes my eyes tired.
06/03/2002 12:49:00 PM
A tighter crop is needed, too much dead wall space at the top of the image.
06/03/2002 07:20:00 AM
very interesting composition
maybe more contrast and less greys?
06/03/2002 06:31:00 AM
I think this photo would work much better with a little more zoom and the subject filling more of the frame.. I think the dead space at the top of the photo is a bit much...

Yum, can I have some brekky too!! Great picture. Good capture of what kids are really like when they eat. Good work!!
