Favorite Branch in the Garden

Greetings from the Critique Club,

It looks as if this was taken at night and you used the flash? I try to avoid using the on board flash because it is usually a little too harsh. That̢۪s probably what inspired the harsh and overexposed comments. Re-shoot it on an overcast day to get good lighting and avoid any shadows.
Composition wise I like it. The tree does a good job framing the boy and directing your attention to him. If you re-shoot it, maybe move the potted plant or compose it to exclude the plant. It kind of distracts attention from the boy. Also, have him wear a solid color shirt as the stripes in the middle of the photo are very busy and kind of makes me dizzy. It also might look great converting it to black and white.

If you have any questions about this critique or wish to discuss it further, please PM me.

Very nice, good idea. If you didn't take it from ground level, getting a little lower will make the church seem even larger and more impressive. I think I'd like it better if you could get in in a span where no cars drove by (I'm assuming those streaks are car lights). Also, using a lower aperture can give you the starburst effect on the lights, just for some added flair.

I like the DOF, the composition, the lighting and how it works with the background. Technically I think it's a great shot. However, the subject on it's own has no wow factor. Put a bug in there or water drops or something to give it more interest maybe?

Very nice, and normally I'm anti border, but this is screaming "give me a black border!!"
