Cute kid pic! On my monitor, the white is blown out on the top of his head and side of his nose, don't know if decreasing the brightness would help that? It seems just a bit soft, focus wise. I think you could crop even tighter to accentuate his face further.

Cool picture, but the goats head shouldn't be centered.

Greetings from the Critique Club, Sherri ...
I am very pleased to have drawn your colour portrait for comment. As you see below, I appreciated your image during voting, especially as it came (for me) after a long run of nauseating pictures of people apparently made of molten plastic! Alas, the average voter treated you a little more harshly ... but such is the burden of the truly audacious. My critique of the image is very short & sweet: it was deliberately rebellious (against the concept of the 'ideal' portrait), and therefore thoroughly anarchic, and therefore aptly named. To be successful, such an image has to repel the majority of its viewers ... it's got to undermine their values and their comfort zone sufficiently to goad them into rejecting it. It scored only 4 point something (placing it behind at least a hundred entirely vacuous mediocrities). And therefore I judge it to have been a tremendous success. I'm sure that you do as well.
Cheers,
Paul Martin

The face is a little too cutesy for me to feel the title of the photo. It's kind of like cognitive dissonance. Attitude doesn't match behavior. I see more of a whimsical side to this photo. It's good, don't get me wrong, but the title doesn't go with the photo. In my opinion, of course.

Not sure if quite fits the challenge as it seems to be pretty centered, although his eyes are in the upper third of the image. Nice job and getting white and black without blowing out the detail. Didn't realize they have such weird eyes.

Good luck

Love goats. I wish his face were a tad more focused. With the placement of the eyes, they are in the intersection grid that fits the rule of thirds. Good DOF. Makes me think of that old kids' story The Three Billy Goats Gruff. :~)
