 I didn't leave myself much time to have a go at this challenge so I'm afraid I've gone down the family snapshot route. Max has been pestering me to be in one of these challenge photos - so here is his debut!

This was a handheld shot - I should've known better but the tripod was in the car and he was about to go off to visit grandparents.

Not much of an edit - sharpened, a crop and some minor colour adjustments (could've been entered under 'basic').

I think I'd be torn between a 4 and a 5 if I were scoring it - so I predict 4.5.

boys face is a little to soft, your light seems to be to the left more than on your subject...

Fun shot, although I think better lighting on the face would have made him the subject and not just part of a very busy collage.
