the boy wearing his big hat, and holding his frisbee out to me. that's the blur at the bottom of the image, and the highlight in his eyes.
and, yeah, he does have pretty cool eyes... even after four years, i'm still not used to having a blonde haired, blue eyed child. i know, genetically, how it works, but it's still weird.
This is awesome. The thumb totally captivated me, and when it opened up, it was not a disappointment. I love the effect of that blur at the bottom. It adds a touch of dreamy drama.
OMG this is the most stunning image for so many reasons .. the blur of course gives an added dimension to this incredible portrait .. the eye's are amazing .. so beautiful .. the way you've composed your photograph .. your processing .. everything works so well .. totally perfect in every way ..
This is a class shot! The shallow DOF and the blur pulling the viewer right into the perfect eyes is just powerful. The desat works too. This should have been used in a free study challenge.
I like the strong diagonals in the composition. I'd like to compare with a version where the eyes are not quite so super-sharp -- it makes it look a bit artificial when it's really a completely natural capture.
PS: The eyes look good in the thumbnail -- I think I was a little surprised at the difference between the small and large versions.
