Aperture: 4.0

My son Nolan had been begging to go to the park all day, so I figuered I would bring him late in the afternoon since the temperature had just about reached 70 deg in SC on Jan 1st. I brought my camera just in case I saw something of interest and as I sent him off to play he rushed to the middle of the playground and stopped dead in his tracks as he witnessed lots of older children playing on the playground equipment he intended to play on. I grabbed my camera just in time to snap this, which says it all.

Great title. A nine.

Very interesting image. Looks almost as if the image of the boy was "pasted in". Was it?

Nice feeling of being on the outside. I'd like to have seen his feet to emphasise the detachment. Clean and almost over-crisp (NeatImage?).

A complete boy in the foreground would have been great, but the feeling is there and the light on the boy is excellent.

Your title for this photo suits it to a tee. You can feel the hesitation in the child, should I go and play? But I don't know anyone! Well done.

I thought about taking a picture just like this one! Didn't get the chance to do so though. Looks good to me, the only think I might have done differently would have been taking a profile type photo of the kid looking at the other kids, something to show his expression I guess. I dunno, I like the depth of field here so maybe this is better than my idea :) My vote: 8

Title makes this image. Excessive use of sharpening tools hurts it. One wonders, had you moved a tad to the left could you have palced the foreground child more on the right side of the image relative to the background activity, and gotten a better dynamic?

Feet in the frame, and this would have been pretty perfect. Still a nice capture. Great emotion conveyed.

This is a good shot that would have been much better if his feet were not cut off.

Really enjoy this shot. Its as if he's taking one last glimpse of the battlefield before charging in! Kind of wish you has caught his feet.

This is a nice moment. I don't know how much time you had tor frame, but it would be interesting to see from a lower angle (my the boys view) and to see his feet.
