my only complaint with this shot is that the dodge/burn effects or whatever you did to get the halo effect around the boys face could have been subtler, perhaps blended smoother. Other than that, I feel this shot was waaaay underrated i pegged it for top 10 easy
Very nice framing, and an interesting shot all together. I don't think the darkening of the edges adds to the photo. It is a strong enough composition on it's own.
Very effective use of this look (I'd call it antiqued for lack of a better term) and nice lighting. I also like the dodging of the outside to bring attention to the boy. Great pic.
