My son in our hammock. The lighting's a little harsh, but I liked how it really emphasized his jowls. Plus he's a great-looking kid already (we'll see if the voters agree). I loved the colors in this shot, and the dead-center composition I find funny.
The exposure on this shot was really tricky, because I wanted detail in the shadows without completely blowing out the highlights. This particular shot was just a ittle overexposed, so his face is hotter than i would normally like. i burned it down a little which helped, but couldn't go too far or he started to turn gray.

No fair tugging on the parental strings...Very handsome. Beautiful colors and detail. The focus is lost on the hammock and should be on his eyes. The mountain in the back ground is very distracting. A better crop or angle would have helped. The lighting could be a lot better. A different angle or fill flash would have helped here also. Overall it's a nice shot. And by the way you did great capturing his "jowls"
Though this is an adorable shot, I would like to have seen a bit more of a dynamic composition. The mountain in the background is distracting, and I would like to have seen that little face turned more towards the light. The concept of him in the hammock (or whatever it is), is great, and the colors are lovely - perhaps try some different angles of approach and definitely some closer crops.
Awww, what a cute photo. he seems kind of puzzled as to what's going on, but I love that hammock. When I look at him, my eyes drift to the mountain in the background and therefore distracts a bit from the main subject (at least to my untrained eyes), but what a fun keepsake shot for the future.
This is so adorable. I love the compositon and the way you set up the scene. The colors from the hammock are a really nice touch as well as the mountains in the background. The sunlight is just a tad on the harsh side, but it kind of adds to the outdoor environment you've set up. Very nice.
This is gorgeous comp! Your shot just caught my eye...the colors, clarity and darling expression. Definately a good example of how centered composition can work well.
adorable! what a great setup, the colours of the fabric add so much.
i think if you had waited until later in the day, the lower sun would have cast a much nicer shadow on your model's face.
