"Challenge" was the word for it alright! A 5-year-old with an attention span measured in milliseconds, combined with lack of a wide angle lens, a very challenging setup to light, and -20 dec C temperatures preventing outdoor shooting, made this photo hell to capture. This crop was best I could come up with, out of dozens of shots taken over two days. But, It Was a Learning Experience.

good idea, think that you may have been able to covey this better with a tighter crop and better focus on the subject (the boy) and less on the toy characters.
I love this shot. It makes me wish I was a kid again. I'm not sure but it might have been a bit better if you had cropped it a bit more horizontally. It seems a little too busy around the edges. Good job.
I think the image would be more effective and have greater impact for me with the focus being on the boys eyes and not on the figurines. Plus, I would also like for him to be looking at one of the toys and not directly at the camera. Very good concept though.
Simple yet clever idea. Might have looked better if both figures were to the side of the image, and the young fellow was facing the camera but with eyes fixed to the side focusing on the figures rather than having them directly looking into the lens. Good luck!
