I must say you certainly are and being shielded is always a safe thing to be.

Behind one of those water domes in a swimming pool? Not enough of the face is distinguishable to me, the colours are nice.

Back to comment and bump: The relationship to safety is very weak, as I'm sure that the DNMC Police are letting you know. This image is fun to look at and I'm adding it to my favorites. However, the weak link to the challenge topic only allows me to give this a 5. In a water challenge, this would be worthy of a 10 from me.

Hmmm. I'm thinking I may prefer this with the grain over the Neat Image. Though I use it, I'm not a huge fan of that tool. I do like the chocolate tones. He's got a little too much of a sweetness to his expression to make it creepy or weirded out, to my eye. So no, no chocolate for you! Well, OK, maybe some later... if you're good.

*** Greetings from the Critique Club ***

First impressions: The high key works here.

Exposure: You did well to keep a good balance between lights and darks though I feel the left side of the face is a little too light or the other side a little too dark giving the eyes a bit of a spooky look rather than natural.

Impact: High key effect I think gives this image its impact making the subject really stand out.

Composition: I thinking this may work better with a more vertical composition, hence cropping more on the right and left. One hand appears to be cut off at the wrist though not really a problem since it's behind the boy and at the point of blending into the background.

Keep shooting.

Cheers!
