Hey there from the Critique Club
First of all, welcome to DPC and congrats of breaking that first entry barrier. 5.59 is a pretty respectable score around here and its a great place to start.
Camera Work/Technical: Very nice. You did a terrific job with your depth of field use to isolate your subject from your background. Your focus on the circle is spot on and your white balance setting captured excellent color and tones.
Lighting: You were also pretty strong here, but I think having the child just a hair darker would have isolated your subject even better.
Composition/Content: I think that this is where the voters struck you down a bit. I have to disagree with cb16 in that I don't believe the child needs to play any more of a role. However, I do think that the ball is positioned a bit awkwardly in this capture. I think that if you'd have covered that right eye more or let us see about half of his face, this one would have done much better.
My Opinion: Very nice work and a great way to start your DPC life. Now you'll never be the same...and I think that's good...maybe. Either way, you did a fine job meeting the spirit of the challenge and you did it with a nice image. With a slight adjustment to your overall composition, I think that this one would have scored a bit better. Again, welcome, and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Eric

| good DOF and crop, might have been better if he held the ball a little higher (or the camera was little lower) |

| The subject is more of a sphere. I also would have liked to see the kid in the background play more of a role in telling the story of this image. |
