A toddler at the airport intrigued by the light play through a glass partition wall.


I know the top right is a bit distracting. I'm not sure how to clone or burn it out (still new new Photoshop), anyone wanna gimme some pointers?

the light really glows on the child - great capture

i like how you chose to anchor the left side of the image with the post

the top right of the photo actually adds a good touch to the image - it creates a story, making this not just a light study

I don't feel the top part is too much of a distraction. It gives the viewer something else to look at IMHO. I love the lighting you captured coming thru the glass and also on the little boy. What a beautiful and curious moment you have here!

Great candid moment captured!! I love everything about it, you can really see the interest in his facial expression... love it. Have you tried cropping to get rid of the top right? =] See how it comes out

Am not suprised he was intrigued by the light, its wonderfull! As has been said it would be simple to burn the top right to darkness but wonder if that would change the dynamics of the shot too much? am certain this shot lends itself to B&W rather than coulor, great spot :)

wonderful candid shot, we could all use a refresher course on the pure curiosity and wonder of childhood

Definitely crop both the top and the two sides just to eliminate the vertical frames. This is so much just about the boy and the glass wall, an experience of texture and light.

Very cool capture. Nice use of light, textures and the cuteness of little kids.

Yeah, cloning out that blown area would be good.....I'd maybe take out that wall on the left as well.

Lovely portrait and very good constrast. I don't mind the top right, but the easiest way to remove it is to crop it , and a little from the left to remove the leading black would make a greater composition.

You remind me that refracted and reflected light makes for a richer image.

I really like the lighting in this shot and a great find. Instead of cloning the spot I would just crop it out of the photo.

This is a very nice photo. Well spotted. You have done a good job with the conversion to B&W too. I do like this.

Terrific photo of the boy with the light blocks. To me photo is much stronger with the upper part cropped off. Nicely seen.

I totally agree with the o. Thether commentors...this is a really good photograph. The lighting is perfect, diffused by the glass blocks. The upper right could easily be fixed by burning or painting.

This is AWESOME! The only thing I would do is clone out that top right. Get rid of that lady and all the white. This rocks for a b/w. I love the light on his face and the lines leading my eyes right to him.

great shot - the lines lead the eye to the child which really grasps my attention.

Awesome lighting indeed! I love the splash of light on his face and the wonderful leading lines running to the boy. The texture in those windows is wonderful too. It is a shame about the bright light in the top right and the boy up there as it is kinda distracting. It could easily be burned into oblivian if you wanted..I think a crop would be a little too tight. Regardless this is a fine capture of the moment and I would be very proud of it.
