I left out my son's face in this photo on purpose. I was trying to get a picture that focused on the action (playing with the stick) instead of the person. Didn't work for me I guess.

Nice color, composition. Face and eyes would be better.

A little lower angle could have a lot difference.

Unfortunately the subject is quite boring! If I could see the boy's expression of joy or something, I'd feel a stronger attachment to the pic.

Classic! ("When I grew up, we didn't have all these video games...we had to play with sticks and rocks.") ;) I just love the simplicity of this!
