The focus point seems to be on the chest instead of the face, and there is a lack of reflection in the eye. The softness in the face does make for a feeling of innocence - and motion. Must have captured it on the run... kids this age don't stay still very often. I'm in love with the phrase "The adventure experience" on the shirt.

I love the crop. This accents perfectly the mischevious expression.

mlberman25 --> "I'm in love with the phrase "The adventure experience" on the shirt. " right ther is where the focus is, in other way, i don't see the reflection in the eyes it may be my screen, maybe i don't have it properly calibrated (it's new).
And your so right, it was catched on the run ;-)
thanks.

Thanks Ron, I made that crop while i was editing the image, I thought it would be better this way.

I too love the crop. It's almost as if you're about to be run over if you don't get out of the way....lol The tones you used give it a timeless feel:)

I love this. I probably would have cropped it slightly wider (to include the nose) but I am a big fan of only showing half a face. There is such warmth in this photo. I feel like I could scoop him up in my arms and give him a hug :)

I would be tempted to add in a touch of chocolate colour but this is an amazing photo as it stands. Well done!

The crop is nice, seems the kid runs away from you and you captured it right on time. Lovely portrait.

thanks riensenriel
