The technicals: I like the composition. The contrast is a bit flat, which is probably a result of the highlight which kept your from pushing the rest of the picture. Focus is reasonable, although the image is somewhat soft.
The feel: To tell you the truth, my first impression was that he was just resting his head against the ball against a wall out of boredom and not love. I think it's the blank look in his eyes. This is probably part of what lets the shot down.
The game: This is the type of picture which probably means more to you than to the general audience. They don't know your son's love of the game and so forth. There is more to the picture that you see, but others do not. |
