Thank you for all the comments. I didn't expect this one to do well. I think the cute subject even raised it up a few tenths of a point. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to get a better shot.
I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.
This is just ok as a candid for me. I prefer, myself, not to see candids of children unless they are doing something out of the ordinary and to the extreme. Children tend to not contain emotions or actions, so they are prime targets for candids. I prefer a bit of a comfort zone lost to the candid photographer. Technically, this photo is not well done. No really focus and the lighting is pretty off. Cute boy though!
Like the composition and the colors. The softness doesn't thrill me for this image but I get the feeling he just turned around to face you. Probably 'cause the expression. Cute kid. 6
