At 10:30 pm. I took my son to our garden to take this picture. For lightning I used 2 flashes and an "umbrella", one flash on my camera and the other one lightening the umbrella on the ground facing my son.

Post work was little cropping and color and light adjustment.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
10.30 is late out for a kid this age ... good work - good on keeping him awake as well.

Composition:
Lovely I like this, worked the thirds of the pic nicely .. and the leading line of the body seems to work as well.

Subject:
Meets the challenge quite well.

Technical (Colour and light):
Lovely crisp colours .. I love the contours in the kids face .. they help to make this hot work.

To grow its vote?:
No idea sorry ... the top 30 in this challenge have me slightly baffled.

Summary:
Great work .. keep it up you are doing awesome.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Nice work but I find the shadow from the ball a little odd

Nice lighting and backround, somehow not really fond of the ball though, too big (close to the camera) and should not be so just barely out of focus, either totally out of focus or in focus has my vote. Rest of the image I like.

Ahhh, very very good. It has a surreal look to it but it works. The lighting is strong and direct but that serves to isolate the subjects. I hope this does well
