| Absolutely adorable. Dark background set this off. Only "hot" spot is on chair back, and it helps draw attention to his face. The bow tie is a great touch. |

I wonder how many people said something about this being underexposed...
I don't see that at all. I see that the light is intentionally low. Light is a frequent metaphor for knowledge, so the light being low could easily be referring to the boy's early stage of learning development.
I could be wrong on the intent here, but it does look intentional.
Just for fun, I'm goin9 to give you a vote to help with that. :) |

Oh... I really like the background fading to black with the adorable child so highlighted. What a wonderful memory of his writing skills. This will be gone in a moment! I'm so glad you captured it!

| Lovely portrait. Hope he didn't had to pose too long. Nice sober use of the light. |

| Marvellous! The lighting is a little duller than I'd like but very engaging |

| Your centered composition works very well here. I would like to see just a little more light on the boy, especially his face. |

| This image is very dark. Perhaps a bit of exposure and/or levels adjustment could brighten it up a bit. |

My husband has a little suit so similar to that in a photo that was taken when he was 3. Some things are timeless.
Adorable little boy. I like the diagonal line created by the pen. |

| I stared at this for quite some time and just when I was about to score it, I noticed the stain on his vest. Bummer. That'll cost ya 3 points. ...just kidding. I'll pretend I didn't see it. :D |

| Nice soft look to this shot. I might like to see a bit more contrast but this low contrast version really creates the soft mood I think. |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. The lighting on this is wonderful, the colors are excellent, and the scene sets up a story. I like the concentration on this little boy's face as he ever so neatly practices his letters. As much as he is concentrating hard, he also has a look that he would rather be outside and playing for there is a slight frown on his lips. So the fight for knowledge here, to me at least, is the struggle to stay motivated to finish...and *then* get the reward of playtime. He also appears so prime and proper with the vest and bow tie that I get the sense of being transported back to the Old West with Sunday School and wearing your sunday best. I tried to read what the page on the right hand side but I feel you will quite understand that I do not wish to pick up my monitor and turn it upside down to read it. I can see that he is clearly practicing writing letters on the lines (looks like the letter 'p'). |

| Borders on being a little dark but I think that is OK. Maybe a slightly warmer tone? Fantastic otherwise- just small points. 9 |

| I adore his little outfit! How cute is a little boy in bowtie and cuffs????? Just a little dark overall. |

| Seems a bit dark. A crop to bring him closer to the viewer may have been stronger. |

| Perfect scene. Perfect light. Title fits well, especially if you meant to spel like that. |

| Really nice light, cute outfit. The plain black pen works visually, but I'd have put something older looking in his hand. Then again I collect foutain pens and my friends call me a pen snob :) |
