Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil
Composition - This is a wonderful shot. Very cute kid and you really capitalized on that for this shot. He has a great profile! I said a couple things in my comment during the challenge that pretty much still represent the way I feel about this. The frame should've been filled a little bit more. I think this would've help tone the lighting down a little. And the lighting is a little overpowering. I do think that it should be bright, overexposed to a lesser degree though. Tremendous idea though and honestly one that is a couple very minor things away from being a ribbon photo.
Technical - A little extra soft on the focus. I don't mind soft focus at all, when used appropriately. This is one that I think it can be very effective on, just that this needs to be a little less soft. Part of that might be the proximity of the subject to the camera. The ultra bright light cannot be helping that either. Exposure is obviously blown out purposely but I think a little too much here too. I would've toned it down just bit, but definitely kept it pretty bright.
Overall - I really liked this pic and still do. You've done a great job capturing this little guys innocence and sense of wonder in a remarkable picture. The eyes and eyelashes would sell this one in a heartbeat. Even with all the criticism here, I think this is one of the ten best from this challenge. Thanks for sharing it - Bob |

| Nice sence of wonder here, and good use of blank space. |

| Reminds me of the unborn child at the end of "2001: A Space Odyssey". It's very lovely, and I can see this working well as a stock photo, but the colours are a little washed out. Also, the border seems uneven. |

| Good shot, just a little too much light. It seems too blown out. I like the open area for text though. |

I think this is the best stock image in this challenge!!!
Excellent use of negative space, great colour, very cliche (which is very good in stock imagery) yet original.
An 11!

| I think the child's head should be taking up a little more of the frame. There is too much open area here. Great concept though. The lighting is a little harsh for my tastes. This is a great pic though. |

| Pretty child. I don't care for the the way his/her face blends into the whit background though. I would like to see a sharper transition. Other than that I like the composition and the brilliant eye - must be a boy because girls aren't blessed with eye lashes like this :) |

| Excellent picture and I could see this used in a variety of ways to illustrate many different things. |

| An good (albeit not very original) idea that is ruined by the heavy over exposure. Try again! (4) |
