Long Walk Home

I'm not sure this picture is really capturing much of great interest. I'm not getting much in the way of expression or mood. It just seems to be a snap of the child as he walks in front of you. I understand the idea was to show the street, and give the sense of the 'long walk' but this just isn't doing it. For one thing, there are houses not that far away and home could be one of those as far as the viewer knows. The other problem is there isn't really anything we can see from this rear-view that gives the viewer an idea of the boy's emotions. One of way of capturing the feeling it looks like you were after is to shoot from a much lower viewpoint, either at the child's eyelevel, or even lower. This would have the two-fold effect (hopefully) of making the road appear more looming, and giving us more of an impression of the boy's experience because we are viewing everything from his eye level. If you shoot from even lower, it will give more of the feeling of a child looking up at the world of grown-ups.

Not much of a mood to this picture, and seems a bit too 'staged'

Presumably this is a self-portrait. So, the soft focus is somewhat understandable, probably intentional upon review and reflection. I actually like what is the impressionistic, painterly style you are suggesting in this image and the textures and contrast of the curtains, the skin and the softness of the light. There is no need to be embarrassed, ashamed or afraid of your "shadow" side. It is to be embraced and celebrated. It's obvious you have much passion and artistry that wants and needs to come out So, even if it is untitled, what is unsaid is said. PS -- I am also particularly charmed by the dimple on the left cheek.

I sure that this kind of picture would inspire you to give a better title of the pic

Gotta use that "Sports" setting for a subject in motion. Looks like the lighting was low so probably contributed to poor focus. Cute socks though.
