This is just priceless. What a lovely and charming photograph of this little boy. The expression on his face is marvelous too. Great entry for the contest and I wish you all the best.

This certainly is a cute shot of the neighbor boy offering to share with you a bite of dirt. He looks as though he was gardening all ring. The lighting is good and the color and contrast are just right. The action is great. The picture is well composed.

It looks sharp enough to me.It's a great picture. I like the dark background. The boy stands out against it. The light on him is perfect. you can even see the dirt on his face. Grreat capture.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I have reload the image. It seams a bit better but it's still not perfect. The dark background and the light close of the boy as the sun in my back were a gift to the photographer. I just took opportunity.

What a cutie pie. I hope his tastes will improve as he grows though--ugh! It looks nice and sharp to me, not sure if you have worked on it since posting or not. Great lighting and composition.

Thank you so much.
His taste has improved already, he doesn't eat dirt anymore. I had reload the picture but I wasn't sure it was ok. The feedback is a little confusing. Thanks for telling what you think. You know what you see.

Comment from Figureman
Well he is a sensible lad and knows that a little bit of dirt keeps you really healthy. Who could resist his charming offer anyway. Nice.

Comment from nonarom
Absolutely lovely! You caught a perfect expression in this shot, the beautiful eyes are looking exactly at the viewer; the dark background enhances the nice details and the light on the child - wonderful!

Comment from Dazzleme
Cute shot cleo85! I guess this is a "kids will be kids" type of shot! Hilarious that he does not understand the concept of dirt and the fact that it is NOT to be eaten! Love the face!

Thank you so much. It seams to me that about 90% of the children of that age I now don't understand the concept of things what are eatable an what is not.

Comment from vipshehan-Nikon
Nice capture and good initial impact and story telling ability.

It would have been nicer if the picture would have been sharper.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for telling me!!! The original picture is sharp as it should be. I'm not sure what went wrong with the resizing and upload. It is happen before a couple of times, I never found out why. I try to replace the upload.
