 Well shoot - after a last minute (with 40 minutes until closing of posting time) I decided to alter his pupils... I wrongly assumed all bets were off with Advanced editing and voila - it got me my first DQ. Which is a bummer because my little guy was so helpful in posing for this shot.

This is a great shot, kind of Rockwellian in feel. )I mean Norman, not Ken, Rockwell.) ;-)

Don't let the DQ get to you. You have a great shot here that will be so much fun to show future girlfriends. Heck, it would be awesome to have an enlargement made of this framed and hanging in a reception hall when he grows up and gets married.

It was a nine. Then, I saw the hearts in his eyes. Ten, for sure.

Amazing, in fact.

The expression is perfect. The background is wonderful all white with that adorable face popping out in color. I hope you ribbon.

Cute expression, he will love this in 20 years, nice exposure, played with the pupils huh, interesting, this will do well, but there are some really strong images competing with it.

Very sharp and looks good. The expression of the boy is excellent. Nice and subtle and not over done.
