I liked this photo a lot - very surprised to see it place so low. Underrated - the flash was a distraction, but should not have been critical to this great capture. The unprocessed look of this photograph shone through for me. However, in advanced editing challenges, I suppose that people expect any distractions to be cloned out. Cheers.
GREAT focus on the laugh! There are only two things I would suggest about this photo. 1--I know the laugh is the focus, but it's somewhat disturbing that the top of your model's head is missing :-) 2--There is a reflection on the wall to the left of the subject, possibly from a lamp or the flash. Not sure what can be done about this, but it makes a distracting spot. The lighting is SO good on the face, I hate to have my eye drawn away!!!
This is one big laugh for sure! :) The light reflection in the background is a little disturbing. Also I might have cropped less from the upper side. Just my opinion. Good luck.
I really love this picture, you might get slammed by others about "technical" issues (flash glare on wall, etc.) but for me it's not all about the technical...this is a great candid/journalistic picture, I really like the tight crop too...it's all about this little persons glee.
ahh, you should have cloned out the glaring spot in the lower left. that would have helped so much! with it there it looks very amateurish. i'd have given it a 6 or 7 without - but as it is, 5
The flash has blown out all of the detail in his teeth and caused a distracting hotspot in the background. The crop emphasizes his mouth and the candid feel of the shot.
Cute kid, great laugh! Nice focus and composition, interesting idea for the framing, I like it. Too bad about the blowout on the background. He looks like a great subject. You should try to get him further away from the background with some gentler lighting.
Nice picture but the camera flash on the left is distracting, maybe it should have been cloned out, i would have liked to see more of the boys face and less of his shirt, but gd attempt all the same
really cute, the expression is great, and composition works except for the flash reflection on the bg surface, could've easily cropped that out or cloned it out. Only other gripe is the teeth are blown out. Nice submission though
Nothing like the joy of a child! Watch that flash -reflect on the wall, glasses, windows. Also shiney shirts. I do love his little face and his total joy. Your focus is good and I like the b&w for this shot.
That's not a little laugh, that's a big laugh. One thing I'd do is soften the picture a little and try to get rid of the flash on the wall. I love how you're just drawn to the mouth though.
