This was taken at COSI (COlumbus' pseudo science center). They have this big play area for toddlers with these cool couches and chairs in a reading type room with big windows. I had Aidan pose on this one earlier in the day but he just looked too posed and very unnatural. A while later I caught him on it reading a book on dinosaurs. Popped off a bunch of shots. These colors are pretty true to reality. Everything is so vibrant.
I cloned out some toys on the carpet to the left. I felt that it allowed for a clean image. The back wall has also been dodged a bit to help bring out the feeling of the light coming in through the window. The couch has been didged and burned as well to help bring out the detail.
Not sure if this is what voters will be looking for but, like my Low Key image, this is one I am glad to have.

I think the mat makes the picture, but what do I know. Coordinates nicely with the wall and the color of his shirt. Now if you'd just had a few toys strewn around.... :-) Good score, good finish.
Lots of wow in this but i think you have pumped up the saturation a little too much - the rug is taking away the attention from such a wonderful composition of sweet lil boy on and the contrast of the orange on his jacket. I personally feel that rug cud have been avoided. 7
Nice. I feel like it would be better though if he just moved over to the left a bit so he wasn't so near the edge of the frame. Like how you used the colors.
In my opinion, I would have cropped just under the couch to remove the (hmmm...) hiddeous mat (Sorry!) It is so overpowering that it ruins a great shot
