What a lovely cute kid. Not sure the grain works here. I would prefer to see a clean crisp portrait to show innocence and purity.

My kind of shot and taking the profile angle here works great. OK, this may be cliché but an idea just came to mind and wondered how it would look in duotone with the coke cup in colour. I'm not a PS expert but I guess it wouldn't be a problem for you.

Love the spirit of this photo. Well-captured moment. My only gripe if any, is that the girl behind is distracting. I don't know if reducing some headroom would help.

Hey Josh, just wanted you to know your photo had a lot of merit. I've very sorry to see that it ended up so under-rated. My comment (and maybe others' too) on your title is more out of curiosity. Your title had no impact on my vote. I agree with RonBeam here and altho' I do also applaud beautiful postcard-like photos, I do appreciate a different genre of photos like yours. So I keep these different genres in mind and vote according to my own mental compartments and not make "apple to apple" comparisons.

Could be wrong but didn't want you to think you lost out because of the title. :)

Loved this! It just makes me wanna smile. Would have scored it higher if it didn't look a tad flat on the grey. Maybe I'm wrong but something not quite appealing about the exposure. As it is 8.

This is an excellent shot by itself. Love it. Challenge-wise, it just doesn't make me go what?
