| Very cute portrait... focus seems to be a bit off though. Excellent lighting btw. 8 |

| His one eye seems a bit out of focus, but I love the colors and the look on his face. Great job - 8 - . |

| What a cute face! Reminds me of those dogs with the really big heads? And that is cute for the dogs but I don't really like that look too much myself. His hands look so tiny, it's really a bit distracting to me. Also the orange/flesh colored backdrop offer no contrast to him or his skin. He almost blends in around the edges. A 5 |

| Really cute picture. It looks like the focus is sharp on his shirt but soft on his face, so you might want to either reverse that or just go all soft for the portrait. I'd say go with more depth of focus, but I know how hard it is to keep a child still for long enough to take that shot. :-) Very nice shot. |

Lighting: The lighting is well balanced with an expressive catchlight, but the color cast is a bit much.
Pose: "Please give my mommy a good score!". :)
Background: Does not complement the subject. |

| I like the DOF, more like a caricature than a portrait though ... |

| Odd perspective definitely makes the face the focus of attention! |

| Very cute kiddo. Love the pose. The angle kind of makes him look like a bobblehead doll...good focus and lighting. :o) |

| The caricature-like angle on this shot really makes it stand out from the crowd. Good choice of background color, too. The expression could be better, but the soft focus on the eyes is the only real weak spot here. |

| I love this picture! Like the one entitled "Veronique" the lense gives a interesting perspective and angle which creates some real personality! I love his eyes, and how they have become the focus of the picture. OH, but I wish they were in focus!!! I also wish the light wasnt so yellow. Please try this shot again after the challenge - it is a real treasure! 6 |

| good strong colours, lighting, skin tones. To me the pose makes his body seem small and out of proportion. |

| Neat lens effect, but, against the strong traditional portraits in the competition this might have a hard time. |

Did you use a fisheye on this?
His head looks way out of propotion with his body. |
|

| This would have been perfect with better focus. I'm sure you've already heard this but the focus is on his hands and shirt rather than his eyes. |
|
|
|

| I feel a background with more contrast would have been more effective. |

| I wish both of this boy's eyes were in sharp focus, I could live with the sharpness variations in the rest of the image if the eyes were sharp. |
|

| This picture is so cute...I'd love to do something similar with my little boy. Maybe sharpen a bit. |

How cute! Look at those eyes. I bet he gets away with alot of stuff. hehe....
Critique: I like the wide angle use. I would try using a background that doesnt blend with his skin and have him wear a shirt with no charactors. Nice lighting, but try setting your white balance to indoors, it seems to have a yellow/orangy tint. |

| With all my attention drawn to those eyes, I think they really need to be in crisp focus. The focus on his his t-shirt, which is sharp enough to see the texture of the fabric, I think could be sacrificed for the trade. |

| The wide angle perespective reminds me of the Margaret Keane paintings. Colors are good but looks like tungsten lighting. Focus on the eyes is not quite there. |

| i like the use of the close up wide angle to exagerate the features |
|
|
|

| Love the WA distortion here, his expression is great, everything but the fact that his eyes are out of focus and his shirt is in. That really kills the whole shot for me. It would have been a straight up 10 otherwise. |

Focus could be a slight bit better in the eyes, otherwise a wonderful shot! 7

| this is the cutest picture of the week (well, equal par with the sausage dog). i'm normally a bit anti kids (and not just in photos) but this chap is hilarious. fantastic pose, love his expression, it's been taken from a very fantastic angle, has the appearance of studioness (so fits the challenge 100%), but if only it was a smidgeon sharper. but still, has tonnes of character, and anything that makes me laugh should do well... 8. |

| I lke the colors. The DOF needs to be increased a bit to bring the front eye into more focus. Being more on the childs level will keep from giving the larer top area compared to botom. Looks a bit out of proportion. |
|

| I LOVE the wide angle look. He's awesome looking. Looks a bit soft, the focus appears to be on his arms and not his eyes ... very cool shot. |

| Gorgeous shot, might be improved if the eyes were sharply in focus and the shirt more soft. |

Nice but a bit weird...
I would not buy a picture of my children like this (6) |

Always worth another look!

| I love the colors in this photo. I would have kept the eyes sharper than the rest of the face since they stick out like they do. Overall great job, 10! |

| Great EYES and angle... I love the effect -- a little to brown/orange, but still a 9 |

looks like it was taken with a wide angle lens, which makes your model look out of proportion
Good luck |

| Cute as can be. Just needs to be sharp around the eyes. |

| I find the distorting very disturbing. His pose is nice. |

| Wow nice photo! I like the colors. Some detail lost in the dark/black areas but still a good photo. |

| Color seems off to me- like it's too yellow. How was your white balance set? |

Wow, what a forehead... Cute kid! Great color scheme. From what little I know about portaiture, you used a 50mm or shorter lens and were too high in perspective to the child hence the never ending forehead...

| Cute kid but this is extremely distorted like you used a wide-angle lens. I don't like this angle for a portrait of a kid. |
|

| I really love the effect of wide angle lenses when used creatively for portraits :) Excellent shot... |
