Nice expression on Ethan's face. Great DOF, love the B&W (9).

cute picture, beautiful eyes, with focus on the front of the face, more DOF may have been good

The expression is great, the eyes are radiating, full of energy, and the B&W works well. To fully appreciate this image I think you must be a relative or close friend. For me it does not have the appeal that some of the others in the challenge have, but a good image anyway.

This is a really good candid portrait. I really love the high contrast and the shallow DoF. The slightly off-centre composition is good and the expression tells a story :) 9

Beautiful color tones. Maybe a bit centered but certainly beautiful.

From someone who has taken a ton of my own dirty faced children's shots, I must say this is a good one. For some reason, I like extreme face portraits of children to be in color, especially when the mood is cheerful or surprised, and I assume the kid has huge blue eyes. What I will say is that the shot has fantastic focus, tone and is nicely darkened to a perffefct contrast imo.

Love the detail in his eyes. I'd kill for the tonality. Excellent work. 10

I have a nephew named Ethan and he has those cute little freckles on his nose too. Great shot. BTW- Ethan has very beautiful eyes.
