Good depth of field. I like the editing.

Kinda surreal effect through the processing. HDR tonemapped? Not unpleasant though. There seems to be a bit of a halo just above his shoulder on the left and the background bokeh looks a bit harsh.

Nice DOF, the composition is a little dull, I'd say try cropping so that he's not right in the middle, lighting looks great.

He looks like he is tired of having his picture taken. I am sure that I do the same to my loved ones :P

He doesn't look real thrilled about having his picture taken. :P

Nice effect with the processing.

Awesome shot. Great capture. Love the expression - there is so much being communicated in it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 03:09:43 PM
the processing/sharpening halo detracts imo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:15:04 PM
A good portrait but would like to have seen a bit more texture.
 03/15/2009 12:01:20 PM
Good colours.

I'm sure some are complaining about the processing...

I wish there were some catchlights in his eyes.
Handsome boy. Nicely composed.

I dont like the format of the file (maybe square would be better or if it was portrait format)...
post processing is nice yet a bit unsharp

Now he looks like a very useful person - good at posing and photogenic too :)

I don't think this level of post processing ever works.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:39:04 AM
nice dof in this portrait
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:14:39 AM
Looks over processed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:25:28 PM
Neat capture with an interesting pose, but the haloing you created around Eric with your post-processing is distracting from the overall quality of the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:13:51 PM
I wish his eyes were easier to read or a little closer up and cropped more because I think if you could get the real feel of what his eyes are expressin this could be awesome
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:44:08 PM
I like all of the processing except the eyes. They are just a little bit too strong. It's well better than average though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:03:14 PM
Handsome young man. Maybe a tighter crop but over all a good capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:57:15 PM
Nice looking boy. I like his direct gaze, and the soft bg. I'd be inclined to crop this to portrait orientation.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:58:07 PM
It seems like the eyes have been retouched a bit heavily (apologies if I'm wrong). Nice colors and a natural expression on the subject. Maybe a little "soft", though it gives it a painterly feel.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:24:57 PM
This is a nice portrait, but i'm not a fan of the PP, it's too much in my opinion and it left a little white glow around Eric. I'm sorry if i was rude, good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:48:17 PM
Very intensive stare on this young man. Good contrast, well done! 8

Eric looks happy to be here!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:29:18 PM
Great expression, nice use of shallow DoF. I think you could add interest if the face were off center and maybe a little closer. Nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:22:21 AM
The background is a little too dark for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:38:38 AM
his eyes really engage you...alot of the portraits do not do this...very good
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:34:29 AM
Nice portrait and background. I like the use of the DoF.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:19:10 AM
Great pre teen shot. Shows some of his personality
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:00:57 AM
Not sure why, but i like this. It breaks many rules but succeeds somehow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:48:20 PM
Good use of natural light. Interesting portrait.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:59:08 PM
This is a great shot! I know some don't like centered subjects, but sometimes it works and here I think it does.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:10:56 PM
Looks over-processed IMO. the darkening around nose doesnt' go well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:28:16 PM
good pp job
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:25:59 PM
Good expression and good but average shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:06:22 AM
nice portrait, I like how blurred the background is
 03/12/2009 09:56:51 AM
Very sharp. Nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:47:42 AM
I like the editing. He is a really cute boy. Good lighting and colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:42:51 AM
Almost 3D-ish - good color saturation. Not sure about the center of the subject and square shoulders - I think this would be less "static" if there was a better pose.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:03:34 AM
It looks too Photoshopped for my taste, it lacks details in dark areas. Nice portrait though with good bokeh. 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:18:22 PM
A little overprocessed in my opinion e.g. There is haloing artifacts around the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:43:43 PM
Decent portrait. Not sure if I agree with the post processing on this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:07:45 PM
nice portrait, but a bit over sharpened, giving the eyes unnatural glow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:48:29 PM
seems a little over processed
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:37:54 PM
The soft focus works on this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:03:35 AM
very nice the bokeh background really helps
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:20:47 AM
overprocess or to much NN
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:18:57 AM
