A great photograph, but I think the dodging and burning is a bit excessive. Done properly, it should not be noticeable.

This image exudes a wonderful atmosphere; I love it! The net nicely balances the centered composition. I'm guessing the background grass was smudged or blurred, an appropriate treatment that works very well here.

Lovely image,
I love how the frame effect puts the emphasis on the child. 10

Whether intentional or not, I like the watercolor look. The highlights are a little overexposed, but very nice composition. 7

Pure childhood in a Norman Rockwall scene. It is a perfect image with the possible exception that the grass in the bright area surrounding the boy seems a biot artificial. You should finish very high as it really is an "extraordinary" image.

Looks like Neat Image might have been used for this effect, and it is done very well. A good portrayal of childhood innocense

Breathtaking ! The whites are perfect...nothing overexposed. This has that dreamy look that adds so much impact. My first 10 !

Spectacular image, but the dark ring is more of a distraction than a focusing agent. 8

Darkening the outer areas I think would look better if it were more subtle.

Very nice soft picture.
I guess the photographer is a woman?

There seems to be a large circle of highlight dodging that appears a bit overdone. Otherwise, this is very nice. I like the image and the soft focus.

Nice image, but I am missing something, maybe some action or a more nostalgic atmosphere. The bright green and the light area around the boy look artifical (not sure whether it actually is), maybe some less bright green would have done it for me.
