Hello, and greetings from the Critique Club. What follows is my best attempt to Critique this photo from a DPC voter's point of view. I'll do my best, but please excuse any comments that may be unintentionally rude or insulting.
Initial Thoughts
Cute, but a little flat.
Composition/Content
Compositionally, this is pretty good, although I think a tighter crop would have helped quite a bit. Just a *tiny* bit too much negative space for me. The child is a cutie, and eating watermelon is always good for an "aww" factor.
Background
Background is pretty good, but has a few hotspots. Moving him out from the wall a bit might have helped some.
Camera Work/Technical
Focus is great, the eyes really stand out. You've used a good aperature for this type of photo, giving you just the right amount of DOF. I see no real problems here.
Digital Processing
While you offer no details on your processing, let me touch on a couple of points:
1. The wall. A little work with a background layer and some burning might have helped with the hot-spots. I'd have also tried to maybe hue-shift it a little to get either a more vibrant color, or get it whiter across the board.
2. His shirt. The red is a little *too* red. It's to the point of being clipped (sort of like being blown out, losing shade detail), and might have worked better either muted, or with a deeper shade.
Other than that, I have no suggestions
Fits the Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge, it's a nice capture of a good "aww" moment, and fits "studio" rather nicely
My Opinion of the Photo
As I mentioned, I think the crop could have been tighter, but I like the overall feel. I'm a sucker for child shots anyway, and this is a nice moment to cherish. |

| I adored this. Have no idea what the voters are thinking. This should've been top 30 at least. |

I am trying to comment on any picture I vote 4 or less. I am not professional photog by any means, but trying to justify my scoring with the hope that it helps.
Nice expression, cute kid, lighting is also okay. Couple of things. Try portrait with having some space between the subject and backgroud. The subject should be at least 2-3 feet away from background. That will help avoiding the shadow too. |

| I like this image. It is very clear. I wonder if the model could have looked like he was enjoying the watermelon. The eyes are not smiling. However it is an attractive image. |
