I am in the Big Sister Program and this is my little guy. He reminds me everyday how beautiful and fun life is. He accepts his world with its limitations and is perpetually joyful and happy with the simplists things of life. He is my Hero--I can think of none better

Nice shot, and I love the tones. To me, this would be improved by a crop on the top to get rid of the top, brighter portion of the hood, and also the front portion of the tray at the bottom.
I really like this photo, it would be my favorite in the challenge if it were not overworked and had a wider DoF. The skin on his face looks like neat image has made it plasticy and his eyes look over sharpened. If I'm wrong I'm sorry but that's how it looks to me. Oh he looks like he would be my Hero as well!
Voted before, but returning for comments and a slight bump. I really like the lighting, it's very dramatic and works here (although it appears a little uneven from burning). I like that you used someone who is challenged as a hero model (at least moreso than some of the toys and dogs in other submissions). One nit is that the skin, particularly on the face, looks kind of overprocessed (NI maybe). Still, 9 from me.
I like your choice of hero in this photo. So often we overlook the heroic people who have so many obstacles in their lives and yet they triumph with their inner strength. Thanks.
Perhaps it is because you overprocessed this shot but his face looks like you cut/pasted it in there and didn´t do a good job on it. The shot itself is good though, just I can´t get over the whole "fake" look so I am going to try and not influence your rating on this shot and give it the average rating of 5.
