This is a beautiful portrait of the little boy. The lighting is really great. The expression you caught is lovely. I especially like the character I see in the eyes.

unfortunatly the photograph is lacking some sharpness which is a shame, nether the less its really good compostion and concept, the bluring adds softness to a childs face which is always good, well done!

    Thank you for your friendly and honest review. I hope you won't get mad at me but I have to disagree. I just checked the original file and can't see were the photo lakes sharpness. Except you speak of the outlines of the head [hear, ear chin] and the shirt. There it is blurred as the background intentionally in order to concentrate on the face especially the eyes. But I appreciate your review, we can't agree always.

Nicely done with this. the use of the soft focus around the edges has worked well here. Great focus and light for this. Your technique for the overall shot has worked well.

This is a wonderful capture of this adorable young man. I love the poignant expression and personality you captured. Great lighting and colors. Not a huge fan of the blur, but if the depth of field was not able to be made shallow, it had to be done.

    Thank you so very much. I appreciate your kind and generous review. Yes the blur or an entire change of the background were the only options.

I wish I had a six for this, its one of the best baby shots I have seen on the site.

Love the soft surround and that angelic face sharp in the centre.

Fantastic detail in the little ones eyes.

A pleasure to review, Mark

This is a stunning picture of this beautiful little boy. I like the close up and the expression that you caught. The way you did this is stunning. Everything about it is excellent. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you very much for your great review. You are right with that sad look. Many of these Maya children have this look and seam to mature for their age. It must be the hard life they are born into. In this case I think he is also a little frightened of all the unknown things going on around him.
