| This is a bit murky to my eye, Anita. But the pov rocks. |

I think this is one of those shots that need to grow on you. I like the processing. But the composition is bothersome in the beginning. My eye was split between the lamp and the kid, and neither really held it.
It gets better the more you go back to it. The lamp is really quite nice, but I want it to play more of a part in the story. Since it's in the upper right corner, I'd love him to be in the lower left corner, turned a bit more. I want the light to be casting a warm circle glow on the scene below and have it's light play more of a part. Right now they're just too disconnected. I'd even think of having the screen on on the laptop, like you caught the moment when he just fell asleep. The screen wouldn't show anything, but the lighting might be interesting to bring the eye more over the the kid.
I'm also wondering whether it would be better flipped. Since people read left to right, sometimes, when you an image that splits your eye, it's more effective leaving the last look at the main subject. (a lot of images don't work flipped -- but it's a though.)
ooh -- yup -- flipping it made it much more about the kid and the technology (I had to go try it :) |

| I did not score this very high because the image is drab, lacks contrast and depth, in my view. The boy's hair blend with the laptop, and the frills on the lamp shade look to be the point of attention. |

| Cute. I don't think it really screams technology, but it does sorta hit the challenge concepts in a tangential sort of way. |
