I really like this picture...his pose and expression. I like the background. Such a beautiful child. Just needs a little tuning up. His face has a yellow hue to it that could be taken out and it could stand some sharpening. Also, the picture is cropped just a little close. You cut off his head :-(

Thanks, i didn't crop out the top of his head, it was never in the photo to began with. This photo was not set up, it was just spare of the moment.

I liked this photo a lot - very surprised to see it place so low. Underrated - the flash was a distraction, but should not have been critical to this great capture. The unprocessed look of this photograph shone through for me. However, in advanced editing challenges, I suppose that people expect any distractions to be cloned out. Cheers.

GREAT focus on the laugh! There are only two things I would suggest about this photo. 1--I know the laugh is the focus, but it's somewhat disturbing that the top of your model's head is missing :-) 2--There is a reflection on the wall to the left of the subject, possibly from a lamp or the flash. Not sure what can be done about this, but it makes a distracting spot. The lighting is SO good on the face, I hate to have my eye drawn away!!!

This is one big laugh for sure! :) The light reflection in the background is a little disturbing. Also I might have cropped less from the upper side. Just my opinion. Good luck.

I really love this picture, you might get slammed by others about "technical" issues (flash glare on wall, etc.) but for me it's not all about the technical...this is a great candid/journalistic picture, I really like the tight crop too...it's all about this little persons glee.

ahh, you should have cloned out the glaring spot in the lower left. that would have helped so much! with it there it looks very amateurish. i'd have given it a 6 or 7 without - but as it is, 5

The flash has blown out all of the detail in his teeth and caused a distracting hotspot in the background. The crop emphasizes his mouth and the candid feel of the shot.

The flash mark is a bit distracting, but it does bring out the mood
