First impression: What joy! I love the look of shock that can be interpreted in various ways, too me it's joy. I know it's probably for Dad, but the son can't wait to dig in and start building!
Subject: obviously meets the challenge
Composition: Very well balance, with strong diagonal lines that keep me focused on that wonderful face. You stated this is a candid, so I'll mention the placement of the couch as it appears out of place when taken in to the context of the top right corner on first glance, but in reality it grounds context of the image as a "gift opening gathering". Well done.
Lighting/Color: The highlights are well used, and the the boy and gift are well lit, regardless of whether it was placed in processing or initially. With respect to color, I find the top right corner very bothersome, because I don't know what it is, and why it's there. Too bad it's not brown.
Excellent photograph, and congrats on the high finish. Personally, I would like to thank you for not cloning the white fragments in front of the box. If you had, you probably would have finished in front of that spectacular, one of kind, highly imaginative, 7th place photograph! ;)
Cheers,
Ben

| AMAZING eyes in this! Would be a tad better if he had more smile than shock look. Overall outstanding though and worthy of an easy top 10. |
