Nice idea, however black & white or color might be more effective.

I'm guessing he didn't draw that interesting portrait, is it then a portrait of him? Nice shot, nice concentration on his face. Not sure what the white lines are at the right of the table? I do like this being BW but find the sepia/ yellow too strong for me.

To me, the background pattern makes it look too cluttered and busy. I think that a plain background might look better in this picture.

This is very yellow. I am sure you did it intentionally, so I'm going to leave it alone, however I might have either used b&w or plain old fashioned color. You did a great job in creating the yellowness, just a bit too yellow for me. Setting that aside, You have a great angle of the child and there is definately a pencil in the pic. There is a kind of distracting white string (?) to the right side of the photo on the table. All for a small reflection on the shiny surface in the background, the lighting is great. it is also a very nice drawing, which makes it visually interesting. Good luck in the challenge.

Very good composition. The photo has good focus and depth of field, which is appropriate to the subject and arrangement. My personal nitpick preference would be for B&W or sepia, but the yellow is a bit too strong for me.

I love the way you cropped this and the focusing but I don't care for the brown/gold hue.

Nice portait of this darling child.....I really like this. The light is odd, but it's attractive to me. Nice work. Score 8 ~Kee

the sepia is an interesting effect on this one, ties together the two images of the same boy
08/19/2002 02:20:00 PM
The yellow duotone is kind of brilliant. A more subtle coloring would be better, I think.

neat monochrome nice eyelashes on the youngster
08/19/2002 02:11:00 PM
Nice subject and good composition, but I don't thiln I like the tint very much.
08/19/2002 01:44:00 PM
Interesting composition and color....

Genious child? Hmmm. The placement of the sketch and child's face is well done. The orangy-yellow cast? Hmmm. Unique.
I don't think I'm sold on the prodigy idea.

08/19/2002 02:33:00 AM
