One of my favorite pictures of the entire challenge. Beautiful lighting and composition. I really like the softness and a story that this photograph could tell. Excellent!! Looking for this at the top!
ilike the treatment you have given to this image. I don't know how I feel about the lighting. There seems to be something odd about the lighting right in the center. It doesn't match the other lighting. I really like the selective coloring on the flower and his look is just adorable. Nice shot!.
Great idea, great set-up and great expression and pose. The hot spots on the face and hands are a bit problematic, though. I think you might be able to tone these spots a bit.
