I like all of the lines and angles of this shot - plus the light & dark play of shadows. I'm sure you'll get a wide range of opinions on this one, as it breaks a lot of rules. But hey, rules were made to be broken, right?!? :-) I think it works well here.

Nice shot - I think the B/W works well. I like the height this has too. I would probably consider cloning out the chair in the bottom right (looks like it would be pretty easy to do). It'd be nice to get rid of the car in the background too, but that'd be a major chore and it's really not that distracting to me. Great expression and pose. Very nice capture.

Ok, maybe this one is my fav! I just cant decide between 2 and 3. The leaves are a little distracting, same with the outlet. Again, IMHO maybe just a little tiny bit more contrast.

I really like the whole series of pictures. This would be better if the background was a bit less cluttered. Maybe it is just my laptop that I am working on right now, but it seems like just a touch more contrast would help.

i like the POBV here but the first thing i noticed was the odd line on the thigh where the top half of thigh is lighter then theres a line and the bottom half of the thigh is darker. thats a bit distracting, and its has more noise than the farther shot but not bad overall.

OK so this is where you learn that we all have different opinions .. I really love this shot ... it works that you have created a much less distracting background through changing your angle ... it works that the boy is centred .. and I don't normally like centered shots at all ... in addition the light on the carpet is lovely .. the patterns enhanced ... I hope you don't mind I did a minor recrop to correct things like the kiddy centred .... might see a different way ....



Removes the centring and the line of light ... but also keeps the air of mystery on what he is looking at. PS I really liked you other shots as well.

I like this one alot. The B&W is excellent. It think it would be improved by a less busy background however. It may be just me but i find the car in the background distracting.
