Very clear and focused shot, I would like to see the eyes.
You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Thanks everyone. It's soooo hard to shoot my son at the park lol. He wants absolutely nothing to do with the camera at that point haha.
Darrell, I agree 100% with you. It's next to impossible to use a flash on him since he wears glasses. I had to edit out the flash off the lenses already and if I ask him to take them off, he can't see damnit (well not to that extreme, but you get the picture) lol.

There are two ways to keep the reflection out of the glasses. One is to use a polarizer, and the other is an external flash off to the side. However, he has his eyes turned downward, or so it appears. I have a question about the editing, though. It looks oversaturated. Is this the natural colour of the play set?

The image suffers from the same mistake most people make in my opinion. GET CLOSER!! Most folks generally include too much in an image. Lots of stuff included that doesn't add anything to the image. It's a nice snapshot, but that's what it is, a snapshot. Just my opinion and that doesn't make it right or wrong. If you like it, then that's all that matters.

Yeah Roger, a CP is the next on the list and yes that is the natural color of the playset.

Yes, I agree with ya. This was just a "trying to learn how to shoot with my SB600" outting.

I am missing his hands or his arms ...something to define the amorphous red/black of his coat/jacket.

'Moving in' would help with that as well.


As Sf1 said . . .if you like it, good enough.

That playground equipment actually frames him nicely, as mentioned it might be nice with a little less of that showing. What about trying some 'action' shots of him playing, that might be more fun than him stopping to pose and could give you some nice natural portraits of him.

I like it, it is well exposed and well composed, you have a very slight tilt to your left that is quite common in photography and we all seem to let some through without straightening them, but very well done.
