Reminds me of my son as a little boy... he's 32 now and still loves his cars!

He's a cute little guy with a good imagination, and I love how the box looks like it has been well loved, not just a prop.

In my opinion, this pic would have been great totally unprocessed and without any border whatsoever. Sometimes less really is more!

Great elemental box play. Can get "into" it.

great shot! A little tacky border, too tight cropping and too much smart blur. I give it a 6, but would be 7 if it was more natural

Your border is on the verge of being a bit distracting (IMHO). Great expression on the boy's face.

Frame is cheesy but I like the photo a lot.

Cute photo, I'm just ot crazy about the border. I think it's becuase it goes across the top of his head, and to me, it makes the boy looked... "squished" inside the photo.

To me, the main subject is the boy and not the box. It's a great photo but not to hip on the frame. Anyway, I'll give it an 8

I'll give you a tip.. `flashy` borders are incredibly cliche and dont really improve an image.. In this shot the border detracts from anything else really.. I bet you have quite a few comments on the border. The photo is so so.

Creative idea. The colors seem slightly muted to me.

Border is overwhelming, but the photo itself is great.

No, not nascar - I've tried watching it a few times since Montoya joined but even the crashes lack excitement :(

He looks like a big fan though!

I love his expression. The frame really is a bit too harsh and distracting. I think a plain white one would have suited it better. :~)

oh man that border might cost you. Otherwise nice shot.

I like the dreamy look. Crop is tight a bit. Maybe bighter eyes would add to the composition. -6

An appealing shot, nice color treatment, and I love the idea. My only nitpick is the close crop at the top and bottom makes the frame feel more cramped than that little box is.
