Very surprised this didn't finish higher - I thought it a very pleasing portrait. The quiet contemplation of the boy is enhanced by the natural light and the setting.

Nice, care-free photo, he looks like he's daydreaming.
03/16/2009 04:07:50 AM
nice shot
03/16/2009 01:28:18 AM
He looks very thoughtful. A bit of contrast or d/b on the background might isolate him a bit more from the background
03/16/2009 12:25:10 AM
Don't assume that because you have an affinity for your subject, the rest of the world will too. Otherwise, a good workmanlike photo.
03/15/2009 09:57:02 PM
He looks like a cool kid ... great portraits can reveal much ... well done
03/15/2009 06:05:18 PM
Nice capture with a great POV and DOF.
03/15/2009 03:07:34 PM
a little over exposed on the highlights
03/15/2009 11:58:50 AM
A nice pose, light is a bit too bright.
03/15/2009 03:25:42 AM
Lovely portrait in the sun with a dreamy look.
03/14/2009 03:43:21 PM
Nice feeling of contemplation
03/14/2009 11:54:04 AM
Makes you wonder what he's thinking.
03/14/2009 05:10:40 AM
Looks deep in thought
03/13/2009 08:12:57 PM
Cute child portrait. I like the sun light shining in his hair.
03/13/2009 07:02:37 PM
He looks like a dreamer.
03/13/2009 02:34:52 PM
ummm you can do better.. this is a snapshot image.
03/13/2009 01:25:53 PM
Composition is very bland, natural lighting is a bit harsh.
03/13/2009 06:14:43 AM
nice portrait
03/12/2009 08:58:10 PM
Your choice of lighting really draws my eye directly to his nose. I like the scene and I like the pose, but the lighting needs an overhaul.
03/12/2009 08:13:08 PM
the sun is your enemy here
03/12/2009 07:19:14 PM
IMO the lighting is a harsh, but it is good profile shot.
03/12/2009 05:05:06 PM
Good pic and expression.
03/12/2009 02:57:16 PM
sunlight is a little harsh, good composition though, nice portrait
03/12/2009 12:24:58 PM
nice portrait, looks like he's day dreaming
03/12/2009 12:14:49 PM
more of a good snapshot. Definitely dificult to compete here.5
03/12/2009 12:11:22 PM
Nice portrait of youth
03/12/2009 10:49:16 AM
Nice capture.
03/11/2009 08:35:31 PM
Nice shot. I like the upper bokeh effect in the back ground.
03/11/2009 07:21:17 PM
He looks completely content in this photo.
03/11/2009 07:07:09 PM
you photo lacks pop...the background is blown out
03/11/2009 04:03:56 PM
He seems deep in thought. I like that it seems warm in this picture with a nice gentle breeze to keep it from being too hot. A nice capture of a memory!
03/11/2009 02:09:38 PM
Cool portrait. Hard to believe you can get him to sit still, my boy is always trying to run or jump when I take a shot. Nice job.
03/11/2009 01:55:52 PM
Congratulations on being part of this 1000th challenge on DPC. Keep up the good work!!
03/11/2009 11:52:11 AM
I like this shot. The pose looks natural, he looks relaxed and has a dreamy expression. My only suggestion would be to deepen the shadows a bit. The light is so bright it's teetering on washing him out a bit. I think you need more darker tones to make him pop.
03/11/2009 09:46:08 AM
The sun is to bright for this kind of picture. Next time move him to the shade and you will see a big difference. Nice candid expression tho.
03/11/2009 01:24:35 AM
Nice expression here, with I could get my kids to sit still
