I love this photo! I thought I recognized the little guy. It's a super photo of him. But he's a great model!

Nice genuine capture of a surprised look, probably the only one in this challenge.
(I wonder why a crowd so intense on the topic of challenge conformity scored you so lowâ€Â¦)
Subject probably a little too central, moved too the right a bit would strengthen the composition. I personally would have zoomed in to keep just the eyes and mouth in the frame or zoomed out to have the full face featured.

The white patch behind her shoulder could now be easily cloned out. To avoid having to do this you could have chosen a lower angle for your shot.

Hope this helps, JJ

Why leave so much space to the right? Very nice. Love the expression and blue eyes, blue jacket and blue cast to the tee shirt.

soft focus is not very evident here.

love those eyes! The light is beautiful, the soft focus works well to show the feeling of the photographer for the subject, and the warmth of the boy himself. The background is distracting - could you try cropping most of it out? The part I'd most like to loose is the bright sunlight - too bad thats really not an area you can crop.
