Greetings from the Critique Club!!
Your photo shows a very nice capture of a boy in his native environment :-). The colors are very vivid, but the blue of the ATV overpowers the subject, and keeps drawing your eye back to the ATV. The composition is nice, but maybe it could have been better zoomed in on the boy or cut into more of a vertical for more interest. The focus is very nice, perhaps just a little more sharpening on his face. The sky is beautiful without being distracting. Fits the challenge well. Nice work and keep shooting!!

Nice colour, but a little too soft and central, imo.

The red ones are faster... ;)
This could have been cropped vertically for more effect.

For me, I would like to see this cropped in tigher to the subject matter. It would have a greater portrait impact.

The first thing I saw in this picture was his ATV (or whatever he's riding) and the grass. I think the sides should have been cropped closer to the handlbars

A tighter crop would've benefited this otherwise nicely done shot of a young boy "in action".

This is a nice image. but I feel that a partait is a intamate photo. I think a closer crop would have given this more of a personal feeling.

All the tall grass is too distracting. and the pic could be darkened up a tad

what a revealing shot this is it speaks plenty about the subject and where he is 9

foreground is distracting, and it's pretty far away to be a "portrait."
