Default Thomas at two.

Hi, I was wanted to ask a couple of things about this shot...do you think he is too centred? How could I have better composed? Also I dont usually run actions but thought I would try a few different things, I know there are dark patches on the shoulders of his top that I need to step back and fix, but do you think this type of processing has detracted or is too heavy? And any thing else u may think. Thanks for any feedback!

I actually think this is a great image.

If I had to nit pick, I would say maybe the collar of the t-shirt is slightly awkwardly cut off, maybe just a slight bit more of collar would help. Besides that... maybe if the crop wasn't as square? (Oh and the little pimple(?) on his chin..)

But overall, I think it's fine. Nice focus on the eyes.

It is a nice photo and I like the facial expression. I don't mind the subject in the center so much on something like this when they fill most the frame. It does seem to be just slightly to the right though and as he is slightly turned to the right it would be better if he was right in the middle or just slightly to the left.
What kind of action(s) did you use?

Great Job,
Mike

thomas is cute......

your focus is very nice and the post work is not unappealing......it doesn't seem to heavy handed at all......i would have rather seen him more to the left as he is facing somewhat to the right......

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I'm going to try a slightly different crop considering your input....PKSon the pimple is actually a little mole which is why I've left it as is and mpf777 I used a free coffee shop action I think it was the one called toffee latte but reduced the opacity a little.
