brilliant image.

Great framing. The first thing I always focus in on is the eyes. This shot has great eyes. Good range, good use of negative space. Nice, very nice photo. Good luck.

This is a tough one. I like what you were approaching here with the framing of the subject, but it feels awkward. Like I'd rather see more of his other eye, or not even a hint. I'd imagine you struggled with this because to frame it tighter would then come into his nose and mouth more. Hmmm. Glad it was you that had to decide! :D Other than that it's technically well done overall - maybe a touch warm on the cheek exposure wise. Good detail and clarity. Overall, well done. Good luck in the challenge.

I know this is nit-picky, but the lent on the hat really distracting to me. But that aside, I dig this photo.

a little too much of the child's left eye is showing - cropped a little more and it would be much better.

I like your compostion.

Crop bothers me. wish either the crop would have been closer to half or showed the whole face.
 01/11/2007 01:35:02 AM
not too sure if this cropping works positively.

very nicely done!

Face is too washed out. Otherwise, a lovely composition.
