The frame and the angling are good. I like the angle of the little boy, but the string in relation to the edge of the photo is crooked. That's just me being picky though. This is a very nicely executed photo. I loved fishing when I was little. The lighting is beautiful for this. You did a great job of keeping glare and reflection off the little boy. Very nice. Good luck in the challenge.
Would give this a higher mark but I think it goes against the spirit of representing childhood without having a child in the picture. Technically this isn't a child (just a statue of one) but... Good composition though the title is overused.
Nice statuette. Great focus. The face seems a little dark, but from the glare on the left hand, I think more light would have given you more glare. 9 Swash
