Is the white spot at the top edge of the first cloud the light from your home?

FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Hi, Karma,

I really hope people didn't give you lower scores because this is a "kid pic". There's no need for that. This is a beautiful picture of your son, and a very good entry to "Duotones" - I like it very much!

I don't have that much to say about the photo, as I think it is quite good the way it is. I like the soft focus. The crop is perfect, the square format is a great choice here. The little boy's expression is wonderful to look at. I bet he's going to treasure this picture when he grows up.

IMO, the colouring could be a little more towards the orange rather than the reddish tone (but that's just my preference). I think sepia is a good choice for this photo, but not so much the reddish tint.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Could do with more movement. The hands look like those of a pianist... but not a good model, that little finger fingernail is bitten! Nice and sharp, good dof. 6

A very crisp image, nice DOF and it makes me think of music - very good.

Out of the piano shots, this one is my favorite. I like the angle at which this was shot. The lighting is even and the color is nice with good skin tone in the hands. DOF is effective. You show good detail in the hand and in the keys. Very nicely done.
