Child in Tulips

I took this a couple months ago actually, tell me what you think.

400d with 80-200mm Tokina shot at f/4.0, iso 100.

Love the coloring in the picture. Makes for an excellent background. I also love shooting kids...just not mine as they have the frozen smile syndrome as soon as my hands touch the zipper on the camera bag. Nice shot.

oo, and have him hold one of them too (if they let u pick one)

wow, Id like to see a deeper dof with more of the flowers in focus.
More of a flowers with kid shot than a kid with flowers shot.

Good D.O.F., good composition, pretty flowers, cute smiling kid... what's there not to love?

Thanks for the comments guys, the shot was actually a quick one, I saw the kid jogging through the row and thought it would be a pretty good shot. If I'd had him pose, I woulda tried to change the aperature a little bit to bring in the background flowers (but it would have lost a bit of its candid-ness). It was one of those "swing up the camera and snap" kind of shots.

Thanks again,

matt

Stunning colors- and the fact it was a swing & shoot makes it even more wonderful. I love it when those shots work out.
