 This is my now 4 year old son Markus sitting on the carpet in our living room playing his DS. Not easy to get his attention so snuck up on him and said BOO!!! He still barely glanced at me with an annoyed expression.

I'm fully aware that this will not do well. But I love the pic myself and couldn't resist shoehorning it in the challenge.
Taken with a Canon 85mm 1.2L II that I bought the same day.

Terribly under rated. This got my highest vote in the challlenge, 9. Such a cute portrait. May not be the most unique point of view but its certainly one you're familiar with if you have little folk running around your floor. Processing is superb. Should have broken six.
I think this suggests we look from his point of view, if that makes sense. And that his is the unique view. I really like it.

This is a beautiful portrait. The subtle vignette really draws the eye to the boy's face...and he's damn cute.
I don't really see the unique point of view to add interest or drama; sorry...

I like this picture, nice dof and framing. Unfortunately, while I respect the idea, for me a challenge to produce a unique pov should be a little more unique than this.

Love this, very natural with the just woken up look. In my top picks.
