Here's the story behind the pic. My grandson and I got on the Scrambler and I held the camera at arms length and snapped about 5 shots, hoping the composition would be right. This shot is one of them. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement.
love the eyes, it bothers me to chop! off the hands and crop the top of the head unless something more distracting may have been it a slightly loser crop.
Terrific expression. Poor kid, he must not want to ride that ride. Actually, that's the exact expressionmy nephew gets when he's just been reprimanded. This is a very nice portrait, -- which to me does not make it "not candid", it's an unintentional portrait. The framing makes the shot. Black and white was a good decision. I like it. 8, just-married
I love it when you're able to capture expressions like this on people of any age. It really makes you wonder though, what could be bothering him so bad. Nicely done. I also like the reflection in the steel.. make the mood even colder.
Definately the BEST of SHOW!!!! Perfect picture in every way. Expression is pricelss, the reflection is great. Actually he looks much younger in the reflection so it almost looks like a "growing up" shot. Is that what he's so worried about? Sharp shaped on the shirt contrast wel witht he muted shapes on the metal. If anyone questions it's "candidness" they have never lived with a four year old. 10 and my favorite!
beautiful shot. great tonal range. love his expression. love the reflection. love the pattern in his shirt. great composition. in my opinion i dont see how you could improve this image. 10 goodtimecharee
Fantastic portrait… The shot itself is of a very high standard, the composition and exposure are superb and the use of B&W is out of this world. This shot is unfaultable. But… I think the challenge link is perhaps a little weak, having said that, there's a fine line between posed and not posed… (9) Great shot, good luck…
Very nice shot, I like it ... would like to know what was happening or where he is ... nice B&W tones, nice exposure / lightning. Very nice children shot. 8 . Lionel
My only complaint is that you didn't provide a title. I'd love to know whether he's on a ride, or a bus, an elevator... or whatever. I love his expression -- looks like he's in "Time Out!" Very well done!
This is definately one of my favorites of the week. The expression on his face gives loads of emotion to the picture. Also, good composition...I love how you've captured the reflection in the metal wall..adds a lot of interest. I maybe wouldn't have cropped so tightly on top, though...but maybe that couldn't have been helped. In my opinion, this is one of the few picutes of the week that truly meets the challenge in every way..a real candid moment with good photographic technique...great job! 10 -KrazyKat
Great Image. I dont think this would have evoked the same feeling in color as it does B&W. Good composition. Good use of lighting. Nice angle. DOF is clear which enhances the reflection making for a well balanced image. Great job!
I really like this, but he seems so unhappy or tired or something. Works well in B&W. Whites are a bit blown-out in places. Good capture though. ~indigo997
