I don't like how the other kid is cropped in half in the framing of the shot, and the image seems slightly grainy... but the kid by himself with his bright shirt would be awesome.

I love the fence, the hat, the shirt, and those boots are adorable. I don't know if you cropped. If you had a choice, I don't think I'd have chosen to include the other kid.

Better composition would have made this a very fine photo. Definitely getting rid of the boy in the blue t-shirt, and possibly centering the cowboy. Might have been nice to see exactly what they were staring at too.

Nice saturated colours and a warm touch.It's a pity though that the boy on the left is cut in half. :-(
It would have made an even better shot.

Don't let your babys.... SIT ON THE GROUND AT THE RODEO!!!!!!!!

Now, I generally prefer to see faces in the "people" shots because they say so much about people, but this one's an exception. I really like the shot. Two things that would've made this one perfect (and that may not have been possible, since I can't see outside of the photo) is if the kid to the left wasn't in the shot (could you have the boy standing up on the left of your shot and then include more of what's to the right?). For some reason I imagine he should be on tip-toes to try to look over the bar in the fence.

Either get more of the kid in blue, or crop him out. this shot might have also been effective to have the "cowboy" in the center, but i know that may not have been possible. Also, black and white would have given this a real feeling of nostalgia, I think.

Cute, good focus, great color, minor nit: I would have liked to see something of a face, but oh well.....(or what they were staring at, as a reason why we don't see their faces)

Seeing at least one face would make it a better shot.

Try getting on the level of your subject or even lower ...

Excellent shot! I almost think that I would rather just see the boy with the hat in this photo... good job!
05/28/2002 09:01:00 AM
think I'd prefer it just with the one kid, rather than the two - would stand out more. Like the texan outfit...

I would have given this picture a higher score if the boy with the hat had been cropped.
05/27/2002 03:38:00 PM
Darling shot. Maybe a little OOF or over sharpened. Still just cute and a good add for TEXAS!
05/27/2002 02:07:00 PM
Very nice picture, I wish the second boy on the left wasn't cropped halfway out. I think it would have been better with him either completely in or completely out of the frame
05/27/2002 12:12:00 PM
Nice Composition. Great use of color!
05/27/2002 09:22:00 AM
I think this would have been a bit better if the kid in the hat was the single subject of the picture.

That HUGE hat is great! I also like his little friend resting comfortably in the hay. So authentic.
