Default At the Aqarium

I would like to get your opinion on this shot. I took it at the Aquarium in Tennessee recently. It is of my son. Is the B&W good? Composition? Etc.

I honestly have to say i LOVE this photo.
the b&w is pretty good. and the overexposed lighting on the boy goes well with the photo.
i'm not sure of what you could do to make it better. if you change something it might portray a different feel to the photo.

I really have no critique of this photo. You caught the moment perfectly. Nice work.

i'd like to see a colour version instead.
the blue light (if indeed it was blue) coming out of the tank onto the face could have looked really cool.

I love this shot. the only thing i would critique is that without the title I wouldn't have known what he was looking at. Obviously the aquarium isn't the main focus but i though i would point it out.

I like your B&W interpretation of the picture. The colors in the original take away from the feel of the picture – great shot

Great job on the crop and conversion of the photo. You captured a great moment and the crop and b&w makes certain the viewer will focus on that moment.
