brilliant shot .. i love that little face and the stark background and his little feet with all the details .. congrats on an excellent score in the challenge .:)
Very different and unigue - a solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.
