Very surprised this didn't finish higher - I thought it a very pleasing portrait. The quiet contemplation of the boy is enhanced by the natural light and the setting.

Nice, care-free photo, he looks like he's daydreaming.

He looks very thoughtful. A bit of contrast or d/b on the background might isolate him a bit more from the background

Don't assume that because you have an affinity for your subject, the rest of the world will too. Otherwise, a good workmanlike photo.

Composition is very bland, natural lighting is a bit harsh.

Your choice of lighting really draws my eye directly to his nose. I like the scene and I like the pose, but the lighting needs an overhaul.

the sun is your enemy here

IMO the lighting is a harsh, but it is good profile shot.

Nice shot. I like the upper bokeh effect in the back ground.

He looks completely content in this photo.

you photo lacks pop...the background is blown out

He seems deep in thought. I like that it seems warm in this picture with a nice gentle breeze to keep it from being too hot. A nice capture of a memory!

Cool portrait. Hard to believe you can get him to sit still, my boy is always trying to run or jump when I take a shot. Nice job.

Congratulations on being part of this 1000th challenge on DPC. Keep up the good work!!

I like this shot. The pose looks natural, he looks relaxed and has a dreamy expression. My only suggestion would be to deepen the shadows a bit. The light is so bright it's teetering on washing him out a bit. I think you need more darker tones to make him pop.

The sun is to bright for this kind of picture. Next time move him to the shade and you will see a big difference. Nice candid expression tho.

Nice expression here, with I could get my kids to sit still
