great sharpness and range of tones. I think, as you can see, your kinda between on your shutterspeed, a little slower more blur faster of course more frozen and detail. Kinda depends on what your looking for but I guess I prefer more blur. The other suggestions are cropping below the top of the fountain bowel adds some mystery to the shot, and bluring the background or cloning out some of the benches and detail in the background.

Nice shot though, you are doing some very nice stuff, I really like your RofThirds challenge entry. Here it is for those that didn't see it

Great shot, I really like these candid shots that capture a unique moment. You really nailed the focus, great clarity on the boy. In a perfect world it would be nice to have some of the background a bit blurry just to set him off, but otherwise a great shot. I just wanted to add a word about the lighting on his face which is really nice too.

Beautiful tree - really beautiful.

I think this angle and in B&W the details of it's beauty get lost. For B & W I think it needed a much lower angle of viewpoint so it didn't merge into the ground.

To me the tree gets lost in the image and leaves me with little to look at but some nice tones & textures. Not sure what you could do about it in post, but a lower angle on the tree maybe.

Cool texture and movement on that tree! Terrific lighting and a good choice to go with the square format.
