GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Great little kid, well caught and beautifully placed in the frame.

I don't know why this scored so low. The kid has an exuberant funny expression, the red hair was captured well, and the standing up 'cowlick' against the black background works just fine.

My only problem is with the choice you made in a border/frame. that heavy black competes strongly with the boy for attention. I'm not sure you meant for that to happen. But as soon as I zero in to look at the detail within the picture, I am drawn back out to the heaviness surrounding it.

That's about the only thing I can think of for a low score on this pleasant image. I hope he is someone close to you so you can watch this young fellow grow up and perhaps record more good pictures of him.

I hope this little critique was helpful to you.

Alice
