Little tiger - don't you love kids?

[kame_gt]

My very first post! yay! Hello everyone. I work as a volunteer in a project called "Un techo para mi país" (A roof for my country would be the literal translation) and I get to build this little wooden houses for people that live in extreme poverty. Every house I build I meet a new family and this is the photo of one of the kids that I met. His name is Arturo. I wanna know if the pictures is ok like that or do I need to crop a bit. The greyish thing on the right is a piece of his father's t-shirt, he was sitting next to him. Any other suggestions will be gladly accepted and considered.

It looks a tad underexposed to me. And stem of the plant in the middle of his forehead is distracting. The fathers shirt doesn't bother me, but it looks like you should be able to crop it out without losing any of the punch of the picture- so that might be a good idea.

I love the look on his face and his stance though. Great catch!

My first reply. Thank you! I shall remember you forever.

Now that you mention it, yeah, maybe it's a bit underexposed.

I love it! I didn't even notice his father's shirt until you mentioned it. I do find the plant on his head distracting, but I don't know if you could really do anything about that now. I think the exposure looks fine though. And I love his expression! You have captured his innocence and youthful joy! I love your DOF too. Nice shot!

I also find this a bit under exposed and his eyes are so dark, I wish they had more light in them. The fathers shirt doesn't bother me at all and the stem I could go either way on. It was a good catch, I do love the photo.
