Woo, my highest score yet, and I think this is my first image where I didn't get any "1" votes. I was hoping to crack the upper 50%, but getting in the top 100 is an accomplishment.
Behind the boy is a big piece of posterboard; I figured the natural background was too busy and would detract from the image. Unfortunately, it wasn't that big of a sheet, so it had to be in fairly close behind him. He wasn't too cooperative about posing with the waffle but not eating it, so I wasn't able to really try a variety of backgrounds. Looking at it now, I did make a bad choice given his green shirt. Maybe a medium blue sheet would have worked better? |

| Works for me! The skin has a greenish cast that is a little displeasing to me. I moved the window around on my monitor and found the image to be a little more compelling if it was cropped just below the elbow of the arm holding the waffle, and just a little to the left of the head. It would give a better diagonal line between the head and the waffle to direct the eyes, and would eliminate the tabletop which doesn't add anything to the image. Just and opinion of course. 6 |

| Cute Kid! Nice capture and comp. I like how you got both hands in. Photo could use a bit more brightness contrast/sharpening, or levels adj to really bring it out. |

| My biggest gripe about my camera is the white balance problems. Shooting outdoors in shadow, I always have to override the white balance, and it looks like you need to do the same thing to bring out some warmer colours. I'm not big on the colour of the wall either - it doesn't work, particulary with the not quite the same colour shirt. It also kind of looks like he is getting squished between the table and the wall. All this aside, it's a good subject and good crop. |

| I think the background colour and the kid's shirt don't work well together |

| I like the color tones and processing(I'm assuming processing) of this photo. It gives a strong feeling of nostalgia. Very Norman Rockwellish. Well done! |

| Nice photo, but in keeping with the theme, I thought you could have been more indulgent with your colours... That waffle just doesn't look as appetising... |
