 He really was bored, just barely tolerating my shenanigans. A box of little einsteins cereal didn't hurt.

6.4 would be nice but I my DOF isn't right so the image suffers from trying to capture some sharpness on his face with USM.

It's a stretch for me to connect this to the challenge, but it's a great shot, so I'm giving it one of my highest scores anyway.

Nice composition and colours. I'm wondering if a smaller aperature would have been better to allow the boys face to be in focus as well.

could have added more sharpness.

At least one picture without a book! nice colors and composition. I would have preferred the kid to be in focus though - personal taste

Technicals: 1/2 - DOF looks rather undefined (boy is not enough OOF), skin tone at darker side of face and arms looks unnatural; overall a tad too dark

Composition: 1.5/2 - good placement of the bowl; good expression; hint of the table's surface is visible - had included more or cropped it off, same with the letters outside the bowl

Challenge Relation: 1/2 - connection is rather loose

Originality/Creativity: 1.5/2

Overall Impact: 1/2

Great photo but ... for me it doesn't really capture the theme that great. Still I give you a 7.

One of my favorites of this challenge. I wish the photo had more depth of field, but overall a very nice capture. Good luck.
