Good depth of field. I like the editing.
Post actions
Kinda surreal effect through the processing. HDR tonemapped? Not unpleasant though. There seems to be a bit of a halo just above his shoulder on the left and the background bokeh looks a bit harsh.
Post actions
Nice DOF, the composition is a little dull, I'd say try cropping so that he's not right in the middle, lighting looks great.
Post actions
He looks like he is tired of having his picture taken. I am sure that I do the same to my loved ones :P
Post actions
He doesn't look real thrilled about having his picture taken. :P
Post actions
C'Mon! Are we finished yet?!

Nice effect with the processing.
Post actions
Awesome shot. Great capture. Love the expression - there is so much being communicated in it.
Post actions
the processing/sharpening halo detracts imo
Post actions
A good portrait but would like to have seen a bit more texture.

I'm sure some are complaining about the processing...
Post actions
I dont like the format of the file (maybe square would be better or if it was portrait format)...
Post actions
Now he looks like a very useful person - good at posing and photogenic too :)
Post actions
I don't think this level of post processing ever works.
Post actions
nice dof in this portrait

Neat capture with an interesting pose, but the haloing you created around Eric with your post-processing is distracting from the overall quality of the image.
Post actions
I wish his eyes were easier to read or a little closer up and cropped more because I think if you could get the real feel of what his eyes are expressin this could be awesome
Post actions
I like all of the processing except the eyes. They are just a little bit too strong. It's well better than average though
Post actions
Handsome young man. Maybe a tighter crop but over all a good capture.
Post actions
Nice looking boy. I like his direct gaze, and the soft bg. I'd be inclined to crop this to portrait orientation.
Post actions
It seems like the eyes have been retouched a bit heavily (apologies if I'm wrong). Nice colors and a natural expression on the subject. Maybe a little "soft", though it gives it a painterly feel.
Post actions
This is a nice portrait, but i'm not a fan of the PP, it's too much in my opinion and it left a little white glow around Eric. I'm sorry if i was rude, good luck!
Post actions
Very intensive stare on this young man. Good contrast, well done! 8
Post actions
Eric looks happy to be here!
Post actions
Great expression, nice use of shallow DoF. I think you could add interest if the face were off center and maybe a little closer. Nice shot.
Post actions
The background is a little too dark for my taste.
Post actions
his eyes really engage you...alot of the portraits do not do this...very good
Post actions
Nice portrait and background. I like the use of the DoF.
Post actions
Great pre teen shot. Shows some of his personality
Post actions
Not sure why, but i like this. It breaks many rules but succeeds somehow.
Post actions
Good use of natural light. Interesting portrait.
Post actions
This is a great shot! I know some don't like centered subjects, but sometimes it works and here I think it does.
Post actions
Looks over-processed IMO. the darkening around nose doesnt' go well
Post actions
Post actions
Good expression and good but average shot.
Post actions
nice portrait, I like how blurred the background is
Post actions
Post actions
I like the editing. He is a really cute boy. Good lighting and colors.
Post actions
Almost 3D-ish - good color saturation. Not sure about the center of the subject and square shoulders - I think this would be less "static" if there was a better pose.
Post actions
It looks too Photoshopped for my taste, it lacks details in dark areas. Nice portrait though with good bokeh. 6
Post actions
A little overprocessed in my opinion e.g. There is haloing artifacts around the subject.
Post actions
Decent portrait. Not sure if I agree with the post processing on this.
Post actions
nice portrait, but a bit over sharpened, giving the eyes unnatural glow
Post actions
seems a little over processed
Post actions
The soft focus works on this
Post actions
very nice the bokeh background really helps
Post actions
overprocess or to much NN
Post actions
Nice portrait, interesting post processing.
