Greetings from the critique club Nick!
First off, DPC allows you to have a maximum image width or height of 640 pix. It’s in your best interest to use all of that so people can see your image in all it’s glory. That might be part of the reason for the low score. You chose the point of view definition of perspective, as I did, and I think that is also part of the reason for the low score/placement as most people seemed to be looking for the distance/size definition.
Positives: I think the composition is great, text book rule of thirds. The colors are really good as well and the nice deep DOF works perfect. I love the expression on the kid’s face.
Negatives: The lighting on his fact is a little off. Turn him into the sun a little more and the shadows disappear. Image size as noted. His clothes are a little loud or off, but I don’t know if I’d call that a negative.
Congrats on your first entry! I hope it doesn’t discourage you from entering again as it looks like you have a great eye. I hope you find this helpful, feel free to PM me if you have any questions of my review.
