 Well - I am scoring above a 6 with this shot which really stuns me. I figured mid 5 at best. This was a great opportunity for me to experiment with using a flash in full daylight to figure out how to kill backgrounds. No filter was used, just a bare 420 on the left and an aperture of 22 I think.

His sneakers are untied and his knee is muddy but his chair is shiny and out in the middle of a field... boy, this image raises LOTS of questions for me!

he looks so serious for one with such a bright future! :) the field behind him, being dead and gone by takes away from the whimsy of this image

I like the vivid colors and the textures of this photograph, but the sun of frame doesn't really go.

Nice clors of the clothing-very contrasting.

Nice shot. You did a great job of working out the exposure. Unlike a lot of filled shots, yours doesn't look over done. If I had any criticism, it would be that the colors on your subject are a bit intense for my taste but really, thats pretty minimal. The shot is just plain good.

I have a question... how did you get the sun that is behind him to reflect in his sunglasses?

Look at those cool shades, and clever title. Background looks a tad noisy on my monitor.
