Let me know what you think. Any feed back would be great.

What a cutie! Using the third rule on a tighter crop would eliminate the distraction from the background yet keep the image in context?

The focus is slightly off. A faster exposure will crack that for you next time.

I like it.

It looks way overexposed to me.

Thanks for the comment. How would I fix over exposed pic. I did something where I turned down the saturation in the pic. Could that be a bad effect.?

[BK553]

What program are you using?

[Specialkalways]

I actually cropped and turned the saturation down from within the camera.

Okay. The basic problem is that the photo is overexposed, which means that it got too much light for the amount of time the shutter was open. This is a common problem when shooting in bright sunlight. See how the street behind the boy is completely white? That's called clipping, which means the street was SO bright that no information was really recorded. There not much you can do to fix it now, and it's not a "bad" photograph at all, but it's something you can be aware of next time. Keep shooting and sharing!
