It's a cute picture, might be a little oversaturated or something, can't quite put my finger on it. Also lighting could be a little better, alot of shadows. I'm having trouble with the conflict aspect of it... Hard to get him to smile? I dunno... sorry.
There is no conflict here whatsoever. Perhaps it was supposed to be that the kid didn't want to smile so he was making a false smile? Either way, it really isn't apparent at all and the flash used really detracts from the quality of the portrait. 3
the flash is too harsh and directed - the strong shadows on the wall are distracting, and the face is too bright. try some tissue paper over the flash to help diminish this. also kind of a stretch for conflict, but I guess I can see it if you've forced the poor lil guy to smile :)
I'm assuming the conflict is getting the child to smile...picture is a bit out of focus, and really doesn't have any 'snap' to get the viewer's attention
OK, I think I see where you're going with this, but it doesn't come close. unfocused and harsh lighting and shadow caused by flash detract further from the image.
nice pic, but (for me) does not fit the challenge well - it doesn't say 'conflict' without an explanation. Show the pic to strangers, and say nothing. Ask "What is the first thing that comes to mind?" or even 'What is the conflict in this image?' and let me know if anyone gets it.
I think you may want to try to use a different light source than your flash the shadow is very harsh behind the child's head. The composition is good on this one, but it almost doesn't look in focus. Also, I'm not sure if this photo fits the theme.
