Great shot, I really like these candid shots that capture a unique moment. You really nailed the focus, great clarity on the boy. In a perfect world it would be nice to have some of the background a bit blurry just to set him off, but otherwise a great shot. I just wanted to add a word about the lighting on his face which is really nice too.

Its funny, it doesn't look like advice, more of a scolding. That finger waging in his face and he is just taken it like nothing matters. You have nice contrasts and tones here. Only problem I see is the sun spot on the top of the ladies chest behind your nephew.

What a cute candid photo! I love the finger wagging in his face and that innocent little impish look on his face. It helps capture the essence of a dressed up little boy who just mayyyyy have to be slightly motivated to be the perfect gentleman :) perfect for black and white photography too!

this is a very nicely composed portrait. i like the movement of the hands and that the hand are not in focus. i feel goes better with the story of this pic.

as a thumb i wasnt sure i'd 'like' this ... but i was very pleasantly surprised .. the expression is great and the hands tell a story .. to me its a shame that the hand with the lifted finger isnt in focus .. looking more into this photograph and i notice the candles the lady is holding behind the boy ... all the elements create a story here ... which is an excellent achievement .. i think the 'story' would be be interpreted differently by different ppl depending on their own experiences .. i find the pattern on the dress an excellent contrast to the boy and his suit ...

Nice capture. Expression on his face reminds me of how I used to feel having to throw on the church clothes as a kid.
