Hi Lena.I like the composition of this photo a lot, but feel that the initial draw in the image is not the face of the boy, but rather, the bright green leaf in the upper left.
If you brighten his face and darken the leaf, you will have a winner. #699243

My pleasure. Let me know if you want to see how to do it or it done. :) #4559810Jane M July 26, 2007
I think Beau has a point - though it's a great image and I love the lighting on his face. #4562282Dennis Flanagan July 26, 2007
I think it is very well done too except the very bright white right in the middle. Have you considered going into Photoshop and darkening it a bit? It pulls the eye away from his face. #4563314Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
