I like your shallow DOF (hehehe). Kidding aside. good exposure. must have been dobe through a telescope? I tried and my tele did not produce that much detail and definitely did not fill the frame as your picture does.

What a cute picture. A bit overexposed but I assume this was the effect you wanted to support the joy? I also assume you did not have a real choice for the background? A more open background would have worked better. You can't have everything. Good work.

Although I have to admit I don't like the picture too much. BUT I recognize and acknowledge that the composition and technique is executed flawlessly. Cutting the picture in half and applying the rule of thirds in each of the halfs is a great ackomplishment. And you know what? Now as I looked longer at it, I start liking it.

OMG staring right at me! great job with the partial desaturation. I like your choice of shallow DOF having only the head in focus.

You don't see this very often. You really got lucky (or are very patient) to get a shot like this. Not only perfect timing but technically sound and solid. 10 + fav

Good portrait, I think the light from the right is a bot too harsh compared to the fill light on the left. And the whites of the eyes are overprocessed.
Focus is good and a natural looking capture.
