Good morning from the Critique Club!!
At first glance, one can't help but smile at the cute kid with his almost forced smile ;~D His backturned hat and rugby shirt help add to "boy next door" sense of it. The lighting seems a bit off as it creates an almost greenish cast to his skin tones. That might be remedied with post editing by working with curve adjustments and saturations of red and maybe slight desat of yellow. The composition is suited for a portrait but seems maybe a tad tight. Personally, I find the leaves a bit distracting, especially the one in the foregound (lower left). I'd like to see a little more clarity and "spark" to the eyes as well. Possibly, again, the lighting issue. Overall, it has great potential and with an adorable boy like that, you can't go wrong. Having looked at other photographs, you've taken, I know you have the eye and ability to do some great work! Best wishes in the future, Judy |

| What a cutie! He IS going to be a handful. Great shot, seems you caught his personality wonderfully. Love the background. It really brings him out. Great upturn on the collar too. The leaf in front is the only distraction I can see. |

| Cute boy, the collar being crooked is the sort of thing that you need to watch for a formal portrait, but for informal it works. It would have been better IMO if the lighting wasnt quite so flat, a bit of fill flash or if you used fill, a slightly stronger fill. The leaf in the bottom right corner draws my eye away from his face. |

| Hee hee hee...what a cutie. To me, the colors look a little muted. If they were more vivid I would have scored it higher, but nicely captured. |

| He just has "Stinker" written all over him! Love those "smile for me" smiles! I think a different DOF that blurs out the background would have worked better for me in the appeal department. |

| I'll say! I would have loved to have seen a little more clarity and sparkle to his eyes. Of course, if he won't stand still for long, that could be a difficult accomplishment!!! Cute little guy! |
