The glare from the light on the left is distracting. I like the pose and expression of the model, but I think it could be even more impactful if the highlights were toned down a bit. For example, I think her lime green shirt and blue fingernails could really be augmented to enhance the overall effect and "feel" of the shot - making it not only more personal, but more universally appealing as well.

Again, just my 2 cents...

Very cute pic! I really like the fact that he has on red shorts as well!

The little boy obviously loves trains (despite the Spider-Man shirt) - and I think that feeling really comes through in the photograph. I think you might be able to tone down some of the glare with some reduction of backlighting and/or contrast. I use MS Digital Photo Suite (as opposed to PS), but I'm sure there are equivalents in most post-processing packages.

I think the composition and colors are excellent. The clarity is also good - although not quite as strong as the content. The lighting is probably the most obvious element to me that could use a little improvement. I think if you experiment a little with it and contrast, you'll be able to even further improve the quality of the shot.

Overall, a very nice photo.

Just my 2 cents...

The left is just a little too light for my taste, but overall a nice image. 5

That IS beautiful! Would be nice if the reeds were on the left hand side instead of on the right as they break up the reflection, but there isn't too much you can do about that! Lovely capture :)

not particularly creative (given the number of these types of entries in this one), but well shot.

i like tis shot, but i wonered how it would look with a greater DOF. i dont think it would distract much from the first line and it would make GENESIS stand out more. Overall great shot.....9

Nicely conducted. How do you get this soft effect in digital?
