I had this entered, but pulled it at the last moment feeling it lacked any sort of wow factor. Comments or other outtakes welcome...

Thanks guys, the real sad thing is this is the first shot that I caught some self-consciousness from Caden. It was taken in front of his school after hours and he was worried someone might see him. It took some coaxing to get him to do the dejected look. Sigh. He's growing up. I'll miss my little model...
The 5 Caden challenge entries (man, that frozen head is still among my all time favorites!):

Caden is being perfectly expressive for you, the lighting matches the mood. You're nuts not to have entered it. Worried that you'd get a 6 instead of a 7? :P

Ha, no I'm still plenty happy with 6.0. I was worried it would be a 5.2. Well, live and learn. I also know it's easy enough to sing praises in outtake threads, but when it comes to voting things seem different. The people who are nonplussed about the picture tend to not leave comments.

Very true. If you take a look at views/comments on your picture, you'll see that you have ten times as many views as votes. That seems typical just like replies in the threads. It's easier to say "great job" than to criticize, so if we assume 10 views of a thread for every reply, that explains a lot. The rarity are those who publicly admit to giving a low vote. |

| Left you a comment. Not bad, but definately not up to your standards IMO! Probably a six on my scale. |

This would not necessarily add much "wow" but the image would have more impact if Caden's upper body and particularly his face were brightened. His expression would be more visible and the viewer drawn faster into his reaction to his failure.
It is clever how you made the paper with the big fat "F" the brightest thing in the image. You might even have considered darkening the background and making Caden brighter still, perhaps with 'vivid light' highlighting, as a metaphor how even a child's failure can stand out like a sore thumb.
As it is the image has a nice perspective and good composition.

um yeah... that would be the lighting that creates mood which you're suggesting he get rid of... |
