Totally blown sky...

while the sky may be totally blown, the subject is very well exposed and I like it.

Good perspective, and carries the title well.
Colour balance is a little warm.
Fill flash can help you get these shots with a better-looking sky, if that's what you're after.

of course the sky is going to be blown, its a relatively tight dof and the subject is well exposed on a bright day, really not a damn thing you can do about it, unless you want to go hdr. good shot. i like it

Thanks for the feedback. I ask this kid (his dad is a friend of mine) if I can take his picture and he jumps up on a concrete block and strikes this pose, I kneel down nd take the shot. Considering that scenario its about the best I could do, hence a blown sky.

The sky doesn't bother me. I would do a closer crop. But that's just my preference.
