Greetings from the Critique Club
What a cute kid! A great pose; he looks really natural and happy. I love the way he is peeking out from behind something. It's a delightful portrait.
Unfortunately, the flash is too bright and has washed out his face. There's probably a way to set the intensity, although doing so quickly for a candid shot isn't always feasible. A simple trick is to keep a plain white handkerchief handy to cover the flash when shooting at close range with just a moment's notice. There's probably no easy to recover from this in Photoshop (although you might try the Darken Shadows setting in the Shadows/Highlights tool).
The black background works very well. It would be nicer if it was completely black, something easily done in most any photo editor. I'd also crop a bit off the bottom; there's a bit too much space down there. (I personally think making the proportions 5x7 is about right.)
Still, for a candid shot this turned out really well. I'm sure it's a photo you'll cherish for years. |
