the boy wearing his big hat, and holding his frisbee out to me. that's the blur at the bottom of the image, and the highlight in his eyes.

and, yeah, he does have pretty cool eyes... even after four years, i'm still not used to having a blonde haired, blue eyed child. i know, genetically, how it works, but it's still weird.

I'm glad Don just commented on this - somehow along the way I've missed it. Lovely.

The blur certainly draws attention to those glorious eyes. He's absolutely gorgeous.

He's got flying saucers in his eyes! :) Very arresting shot, nice use of the blur and hat brim to frame the eyes.

Besides the blurred bottom working very well pulling us right into those baby eyes the diagonal really adds even more excitement to this shot.

This is awesome. The thumb totally captivated me, and when it opened up, it was not a disappointment. I love the effect of that blur at the bottom. It adds a touch of dreamy drama.

Blur by mechanism of frisbee... I love that. This is a great portrait and a mysterious composition. Not all there.

That is very cool. Looks like a gradiant? Those eyes are incredible.

This is a class shot! The shallow DOF and the blur pulling the viewer right into the perfect eyes is just powerful. The desat works too. This should have been used in a free study challenge.

I like the strong diagonals in the composition. I'd like to compare with a version where the eyes are not quite so super-sharp -- it makes it look a bit artificial when it's really a completely natural capture.

PS: The eyes look good in the thumbnail -- I think I was a little surprised at the difference between the small and large versions.
