 My nephew after his game boy was taken away. :(

To fade the white out I used gaussian blur in screen mode. Not sure if that is a major element - just a different degree of white...

Also used gaussian blur in multiply mode to get the mood. A couple of cloning bits on the face to get rid of the food to mouth misses. :) Gotta love little kids...

Good shot, I like the way you made the woodwork disappear oh so gradually, and his expression is priceless.

Like the expression on his face. I'm not sure I like seeing the little bit of woodwork on the wall, it's a bit distracting. Good work!

Great shot. the lighting it really nice, although I would like to see some detail in the boys clothing, also some catch lights in the eyes would be nice.

Technically very nice but I find the portayal/content (expression, clothing) a little over the top. Perhaps it's the interaction with the soft wispy processing and lighting. Misundersood is a more gritty idea, IMO. Just thinking aloud at ya ;-)

I love the shot, composition, perspective...the detail of the door is a little distracting, but nonetheless, this is superb
