Comment by Jenguin:
Although this is a wonderful shot, with very vibrant colors... I fail to see the "new" part of this photo. New sunglasses? New store? Sorry, 6 for trying!

This is such a clever photo. Cropping and DOF are both perfect. BAMartin

If one were to look only at the thumbnail, the meaning of this would be lost. Once I opened the image though, I didn't have to look too deeply to see what's putting a smile on this kid's face.....NEW STUFF! Kewl! Exposure is excellent, very good crop and I like the upward angle. One other thing is that I haven't seen too many images on here with blue sky. Nice to see. Good job!

Comment by Gordon:
clever. Maybe could have been cropped tighter, to just have the eyes/ hair/ sky ?

I like this most of all for the originality. It's great to see so much blue at the top, which I might not normally like, but in this case it really makes me think about him making use of his new gear and looking right up to the sun. I like that his mouth is only just in shot.

PS Just noticed the Best Buys reflection in his sunglasses, can't believe I missed that after looking at this photo about 10 times already. That's superb positioning and adds an extra 1.

Great shot... The "YUB TSEB" is somewhat destracting to me though...
I wonder how it'd look "reversed"...
Granted, it'd be really fake, but i think it might look better. I'm sure you'd get dinged either way though :)
