The centeredness of this means I keep looking at the bottom of the frame for something

I like this picture and the happiness in the boys eyes, they are clearly having fun . . . I think the mother leaning in is a distraction from the photo.

Nice shot, the curves in the frame (lens distortion?) are really off putting though and detract from a really nice shot

So cute and such typical little boy behavior! I would have shot this without the third person (back of head). Nice focus.

I think this would be much, much better if you cropped in closer - losing the draws, clothes, mum (?) and just leaving the boys on different shelves.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: All three are done well. Nothing is over saturated, hues are realistic, skin tones are great.

Brightness and contrast: Contrast is excellent, however it appears that to get the reflection bright enough, the highlights such as the gloved hand, and some areas on the back of the head, are blown out and featureless.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is excellent. Depth of field is good, but I find myself wondering if I like the back of the head soft or not.

The background in this image is a bit distracting. The grid pattern changes from the top to the bottom of the picture, and then there is that featurless bright white area at the upper left of the image that distracts a bit. Since this is an advanced editing challenge, the white spot, and the brightness of the gloves and head covering could be dealt with.

I really like the reflection in the wafer. Crisply sharp, and great detail. The pose works very well. The intent gaze of the subject at the wafer is very appropriate for this job illustration.

Very nice work. Congratulations on your top 25 finish.

I'll be surprised if this isn't on the first page or two. Very well done.
