 My son Dade. 5 years old.
This is my first attempt at using the NeatImage thing. I'm impressed. This is probably my most highly edited pic ever submitted. I cloned out some tree bark dust from his dark shirt, brightness/contrast, cropped and neat image. I know, I know...not really a lot of editing, but more than I've done in the past. I know it doesn't hold a candle to labuda, joey, heida, etc... but I'm damn proud. lol

The focusing seems off. Also the color contrast between his arm and face is weird looking. Was he out in the sun with a bag over his face?

a bit soft along the right side of the face. eyes look a little sleepy, wish it was cropped a bit tighter.

Had this been a bit more in focus I would have scored it higher. I like the composition and coloring. Cute kid.

I like the pose, but the color and focus look a little off to me.

Nice capture. I like your set-up because the tree offers a non-distracting backdrop, however, his face is too light and his arm fuzzy.

I like the title: Ready or not, here I come!

im sure the kid doesnt have makeup..
my point is that blur doesnt work everywhere...

a bit too much blur (in post processing?), especially on the arm, not so sure about the face - the hair looks great, natural texture. Too much of a "mall studio portrait" for my taste. The background works very well, but the kid's too soft - he's a great looking boy! no need to "polish" him this way.

Otherwise: good lighting, nice expression and pose. The T-shirt's color seems a little overwhelming. Different color (not solid, brighter?) or different crop (same width, cut off the bottom and make it square?) might have helped.

As is, a 6. Could have been a 7, at least .
