Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)

Composition/Lighting : great job! i really don't see how this did not turn out better, but be proud of it. it's a great shot. the lighting is spot on, i like the angle of the light you chose, he's shooting up, and brings the eyes to the outside of the frame. very nice. no blowouts, very nice. overall great :) i gave it a 7:)

Challenge : i think it definitely meets the challenge, but some voters don't spend enough time to fully analyze, and i think that shows here. great shot :)

Conclusion : there's really not that much i can nitpic on this. great use of lighting, great detail. nice look of anticipation and concentration on the boys face. really tells a story, which is hard to do in a setup shot w/ kids, as i'm sure you've found.
i think the toga is a bit much, personally. but to each his own. doesn't take away, great image :)

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)
-Jon Rowe

Impactful photo, the PP reaches out and grabs you yet is not overdone. Super cool sky!

Clever image. Wonderful shot of the clouds. What's the thing to the right? Looks like a huge cucumber sticking up out of the ground. Should have waited for your knees to dry out. ;^)

I like the fact that I had to study it to figure out what was going on. Well done. Even the centering works.

Great picture but I think the person running doesn't enhance it, I would like it much better without it :)

love the sky and the colours .. composition seems little off though .. perhaps better landscape?

Desat across the whole image would have been better IMO. I like the image.

Good macro, good bokeh, ugly fly. Still a good picture, though.
