Corn on the cob...

Oh my, he is too adorable with that expression! And that ear of corn is as big as he is!

What a sweet shot! His eyes are so expressive. Love it.

Good shot but you cut the top of his head off. Eyes are great..

That has got to be the most adorable child portrait I have seen. Only things that bother my is that you lost the tip of his finger and also the background is distracting. While you can do much if this is the original the background can be easily fixed. Just mask out your son and blur the background more and maybe darken it a little it will help to put more focus on your subject. Or you can get rid fo the background completely and add in a different one.

Ok, here's the original:



I already got rid of lots in the background...i guess not enough.
I can crop again and retrieve the tip of his finger...however, the top of the head is lost

Thanks for the suggestions!

I think that cutting out the crown of his head is not a problem. When I last visited London's National Portrait Gallery, I noticed this was a choice that many portrait artists (particularly photographers) made, bringing the subject closer to the viewer.

I think it might be worth not chopping off his fingers (from the original, I see you still have those) and I agree with the comments about the background. I like the way you have made the picture brighter with post-processing but wonder if you could change the angle you shoot from to get a less distracting background?

barladeanca, Welcome

Cute x 10. I can really appreciate the effort behind removing the fingers on right. It's believable; very good.

Thank you for adding my picture to your flickr faves !!! That's must be beginner's luck...
