Thought I would share one from a fun family shoot I did late last summer.

Awww.. he is adorable.. :) NIce shot.. Your DOF looks lovely.

I'd try to meter for his face and bring up the exposure a wee bit more... you'll end up loosing some of the background though.. other thing you could do is mask off the bg and just curves boost some of the boy... I think the image will really pop. :)

quick example... I added a slight vignette and pushed the saturation a little bit too.. maybe too much, but you get the general idea... hope you don't mind.. I can remove it if you like..

No I don't mind at all, in fact I really like that you took the time to do that. (Thank you) I think it looks great, I like how you made the face and eyed stand out more. I am still trying to figure out how to make the levels and curves adjustments work.

The comments you made are very much appreciated. I am still in the learning phase of all of this so I need all the help I can get.

Thank you

Wonderful composition... This is a portrait I'd love to hang in my living room, and it's not even my kid.
:)

Great work...
