Taken with a 40-150 with a +10 macro diopter on it. Son looking out the window. SLight crop, hue adjustment, sat and usm and NI. I am hoping to score above a 6 with this.

In response to your request for an In Depth Critique.
I have pondered this image now for a whole day. Picking it apart, just trying to find something that isn't right. But I'm just not seeing it. If I HAD to pick something, it would be the light reflection in the left side of the eye. I wish this were toned down a bit or simply no there. I think being so close to the window, that it distracts slightly from the reflection in the eye.
Focus is great. Love the detail in the eye. DOF is perfect and works great for the challenge.
I like the cropping/framing of the subject and placement within the frame is good as well. I like the negative space to the left.
The colors are great, very nice warm tones.
Wish I could offer more, but I really don't see much that could be improved in my opinion.

My favourite of the eye macros in this challenge - I like the choice of which part of the image to leave in focus and the wonderful softness of the blurred areas. Nice composition too. 9
