Greetings from the Critique Club

What a good looking little boy. YOu captured a moment when he was tired and ready for a good rest and it's a moment he will undoubtedly treasure as a grown-up.

For a portrait, this pose is a bit informal, and the background a bit overpowering. But you like it, and that's what counts. For a better image, I would suggest bracketing your shots to get better exposure. Although from your EXIF data, it looks as if you didn't have much light and did what you could with what you had.

I expect you will have plenty of opportunities to re-pose this cute kid and get more practice shooting portraits.

And I'll look forward to seeing more of your work on DPC.

Too much blur - but I like your eye.

It's hard to see when everything's blurry. I think I would've liked it better if the fence was in more focus.

Comment by Tammer:
For me, the out of focus area is too large in the foreground. My eyes are "blocked" by this and I don't really look at the rest of the photo. Good idea however.

I don't think I've ever seen such amazing eyes. I would have somehow focused on those more.

Nice perspective with the use of the mid focus point.

I would like to see the focus start in the front
