I thought it was just me, but yes it looks a bit UE.

It looks underexposed, his head blends in with the background on the right, and the screen on the left is distracting.

I agree that the image is too dark and contrasty, and perhaps also a bit saturated. But I also don't like the head hanging to one side. Perhaps a couple quick PS fixes like this?? Just my opinion. But great shot and beautiful child. Keep it up.

The kid looks like he's thinking, "Is that an L lens?" .;drool;.

bobrock: I like the rotation, but I think that the PP is a bit too much (kind of glowing), perhaps lowering the opacity.

J:
Yes, agreed. It was a very quick fix just to illustrate the possibilities. Not intended at all to be a final edit. I would not take any more than a few minutes on this low res image, just for illustration purposes. It's pointless to work any further on it, unless I had the original high res image. But you're right....if done carefully and correctly, it would look MUCH more believable.

Cheers,
Bob
