Composition - This is a wonderful shot. Very cute kid and you really capitalized on that for this shot. He has a great profile! I said a couple things in my comment during the challenge that pretty much still represent the way I feel about this. The frame should've been filled a little bit more. I think this would've help tone the lighting down a little. And the lighting is a little overpowering. I do think that it should be bright, overexposed to a lesser degree though. Tremendous idea though and honestly one that is a couple very minor things away from being a ribbon photo.

Technical - A little extra soft on the focus. I don't mind soft focus at all, when used appropriately. This is one that I think it can be very effective on, just that this needs to be a little less soft. Part of that might be the proximity of the subject to the camera. The ultra bright light cannot be helping that either. Exposure is obviously blown out purposely but I think a little too much here too. I would've toned it down just bit, but definitely kept it pretty bright.

Overall - I really liked this pic and still do. You've done a great job capturing this little guys innocence and sense of wonder in a remarkable picture. The eyes and eyelashes would sell this one in a heartbeat. Even with all the criticism here, I think this is one of the ten best from this challenge. Thanks for sharing it - Bob

Don't know if the sky is your focal point as the tower seems to be it to me. Nice photo anyway. Like the contrast of the tower against the dark sky.
