 Its a photo I have tried about a half a dozen times, but never could get it just right. Well this is the closest I have came so I said heck, why not. The post processing stuff here is really self explanatory, nothing crazy, just a few enhancements.

Cute little guy, but the set up seems rather contrived.

Great background and framing. I'd like to see a little better lighting on his face, but this is still a very good shot.

Awww, what a cute little guy. It makes me smile that here is a little boy with a baseball on his outfit, holding a truck, yet in the midst of a bed of flowers. A good photo to cherish.

purple border makes it look a little cartoony

I'm a big fan of borders, but I dont think this one is an asset to this picture, cute little guy though!!

Very cleverly framed

The wide angle and downward shooting angle has left this with an odd out of proportion feeling. The setting is lovely.

purple semi border distracts from nice photo otherwise. let the image and subject tell the story if at all possible.

Awww...Cute! Love the color and flowers in the background. Nice border. I wish he was looking up a bit more to appreciate his cute face. Nice Job!

The clothes clash a little with the flowers but the lighting is good. Also a photo taken from above is always a little forced when the model has to look up and the eye focus goes to waste.. cute little boy..

it's a nice shot. the shadow on the face takes away from the portrait-ness of it, though. the border doesn't really do a lot for me, either.

I don't like the border. It kind of distracts from the little boy. I think it would have looked fine with just the flowers.

Precious shot and I love the truck in his hands. The shading around the border is distracing IMO. Cool flowers

I think you should have gotten down to his height and watch the lighting. I like the background and the border, but it doesn't look boyish and doesn't go with his blue outfit.

this would really work better if the camera was at his level

This looks like it was just a slight bit overworked with Neat Image. Not by much just a fraction to smooth. This is still a wonderfull image with a great background and nice lighting. Nicely done

Good shot, it would be nicer if he was looking a bit more directly at the camera.

Border diminishes an otherwise fine shot.
