A very cute and engaging subject. I'd like to see more focus on the face and perhaps higher contrast; the tones are a little too similar.

always gotta love b&w portraits. this one could be helped with some increased contrast. looks pretty flat through the grayscale spectrum. the focus could be sharper also...mainly towards the eyes

focus is kind of soft...i like the b/w...your model looks very happy and not really posed

Looks a bit too noisy, which I don't find to be flattering for this beautiful boy.

that heavy line thingy in the background that hits him at the collar is a real distraction

Nice capture. Perhaps a little more contrast might improve the presentation. Resetting the black point so the blacks are "really black" instead of a dark gray might be worth trying.

a happy snap, background is a bit distracting...

KInda flat with a distracting background thing behind his right shoulder. There's not enough contrast here. Cropping is nicely done yielding a good composition.

Nice smile and looks very happy
I think the focus is a little soft I am not sure I like the pole or slide? in the background for a portrait but I like the image
Its a very relaxed style which suits the child

Focus is too soft.

Nice boy, I like his expressions. :-) I would crop from the bottom, though, the pattern on his T-shirt is a bit distracting and on some areas, the T-shirt and the stuff in the bacground is overexposed, lights have blown out. A little bit contrast could have been applied here, too. Maybe there is a bit graininess, too, but I like it. :-) My Olympus does it sometimes, too.

I really like how you captured the charm of childhood here. My only suggestion would be to increase the sharpness and contrast slightly - it looks a tiny bit out of focus, but contrast would make it look sharp. Good luck!

Nice capture. Little too greyish. More contrast would have been right on. BOL

Happy healthy looking boy. The decal on the shirt is a distraction as is the post in the back. Maybe a tighter crop?

Soft gentle tones for a soft gentle portrait, nice diagonal pose. The background, especially behind his right ear, detracts a little but who cares?

I think this is a cute shot, but a bit blurry for me.
