While I think you did a fine job of balancing the amount of light on your son and allowing the sunset to still be visible and well exposed, the choice of on camera flash caused a harsh look. Further, the use of an appropriate gel to modify the color of the light from the flash to better match the light from the sunset would have really evened out the light.

For me, the balance of the colors of the light (harsh blue flash light and the soft warm oranges from the sunset) conflicted with each other.

Like others have stated, it is a great photo of your son and you SHOULD be proud of it. But for next time, get a set of gels so you can really make this one stand out for the rest of us!

Flash is too harsh, and not color balanced for the scene... Diffuse more and use a color gel.

I think the reason it scored low is because it's kind of caught in the middle. Is it a landscape? Is it a portrait? I think it needed to be either closer(portrait) or further away(landscape).

Keep in mind that is just in terms of DPC and scores, had that been my son and I took that picture, I would proudly have it blown up and hanging in my living room.

Answer: Yes
Question: Did you really eat the whole thing?

I find the uneven dof bothersome - esp. the right side of the snack. Also, lots of brown variations, and not much other color in the shot.

My brain says "YES! PEANUT BUTTER", but my eyes say "this just doesn't look very appetizing with the cream spilling out."
