 I had my son stand with tape on his mouth and try and give an expression to say sorry but I can't speak as my lips are sealed, I thought the hands pointing at his mouth gave it more of a (Look at me) look, it took a lot more shots than I thought it would to stop him laughing. Not an easy job to do with tape on your mouth.

Meets the challenge! The background and shadows from the lighting give this a sort of "snapshot" kind of feel, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but doesn't go over well as far as DPC in most cases.

I like the overall idea, but the full frontal flash gives these realy hard ugly shadows on the wall.
If you would have difused the light and stepped a few feet from the wall the shadowsw ould have been less.
Overall lighting is flat, background is not interesting.
Looks like complaining, dont take it to hard, just trying to help.

not keen on how he is looking above the camera, to say MLAS he should be looking at us when talking to us, imo onboard flash a bit strong & is washing out the BG, good luck

From the challenge: Title your image with your chosen acronym, and let your image explain what the letters represent!

As such you shouldn't put in your title what the letters mean. Thats what the picture was supposed to do.

"title your image with your chosen acronym, and let your image explain what the letters represent!"
Would have worked without the extended title and without the exaggerated gesture IMO. Besides that, the lighting is too harsh, the composition too centered.
