"The intensity is critical, Captain. Stand back he's going to explode!" I Love it, too bad the background is so distracting. The Pinewood Derby Cars on the computer monitor are a nice touch.

slightly out of focus... too much clutter in the background

Your focus tells me that the game is the subject but its all the way at the bottom of the frame and you have so much more going on here. I think a better shot would have had the kids focus as well so that we could clearly see his expression, which by the way is great. The rest of the background is very distracting.

If only you'd got the focus on the face instead of the hands. Such a great expression. I think a vertical format would have helped this picture as well. Especially one where you shot it that way originally and could have gotten more of the foosball table in the lower end of the picture. As it stands, however, even cropping it vertically would help minimize some of the distracting elelments around him and help focus attention on the subject.

His expression is priceless! Unfortunately, it's not in focus, the front of the picture is. The background is also a little too cluttered (albeit out of focus and therefore not sooo terrible), and I understand that these kind of candids will always have that.

Interesting expression. I'm not fond of the background though, it is too distracting (this may be out of your control) I would have at least turned the computer monitor off and gotten the paper out of the printer.
