I'm torn because I kinda like the expression but the position of his hand and shoulder is really bugging me. All comments and critique welcome

No, shot on Black I agree with your assesment- his expression is good but his shoulder and hand are in an awkward position. You did great with the eyes, WOW, but I can't get over how strange the image looks because of his shoulder. I know even though its strange I keep coming back to it... LOL You should have had him open his shoulder up a bit. He is high energy and does not really take instruction. I got lucky to catch this expression.

The hand may not be optimum, but it certainly doesn't ruin the image. I like the expression quite a lot, too.

Oct 23, 2011 21:52 | #12 No, I appreciate the opinion, but I did not do anything to the skin and can see every hair/fine pore. Of course kids have very smooth skin. Are you suggesting adding texture to improve the look of his skin?
