A very cute and engaging subject. I'd like to see more focus on the face and perhaps higher contrast; the tones are a little too similar.

always gotta love b&w portraits. this one could be helped with some increased contrast. looks pretty flat through the grayscale spectrum. the focus could be sharper also...mainly towards the eyes

Nice capture. Perhaps a little more contrast might improve the presentation. Resetting the black point so the blacks are "really black" instead of a dark gray might be worth trying.

Nice smile and looks very happy
I think the focus is a little soft I am not sure I like the pole or slide? in the background for a portrait but I like the image
Its a very relaxed style which suits the child

Nice boy, I like his expressions. :-) I would crop from the bottom, though, the pattern on his T-shirt is a bit distracting and on some areas, the T-shirt and the stuff in the bacground is overexposed, lights have blown out. A little bit contrast could have been applied here, too. Maybe there is a bit graininess, too, but I like it. :-) My Olympus does it sometimes, too.

I really like how you captured the charm of childhood here. My only suggestion would be to increase the sharpness and contrast slightly - it looks a tiny bit out of focus, but contrast would make it look sharp. Good luck!

Nice capture. Little too greyish. More contrast would have been right on. BOL

Soft gentle tones for a soft gentle portrait, nice diagonal pose. The background, especially behind his right ear, detracts a little but who cares?

Please, leave me alone!

Ooooo, what a cutie and he does look like he's about to cry ;(

This is an adorable snapshot but leaves me wanting for a more portrait type shot. The cropping seems tight on his head, if the whole head was visible and the way the one arm on the right gets cut off is also a bit distracting, if you could crop that out completely. The background on the right keeps pulling my eyes over there, not sure what it is and it's almost demanding me to figure it out, taking me away from that sweet face. A 4
