Cool First photo

This is my first photo that I am putting up for comments. Please feel free to leave any criticism. I am here to learn. I entered this photo in the weekly contest, but it is hard to get comments in that forum since it fills up so fast.

He looks very natural, relaxed and not posed at all.

I love his expression! I think the soft focus adds a daydream quality to the shot. Very nice.

Cool

Thanks everyone for your comments.

@Howard Taylor: I thought this was the critique forum. I didn't scroll down far enough. Thanks. Also I did enter it in the weekly contest.

I started a new thread in the Critique forum: http://digital-photography-school.co...tml#post564687. Please post any more comments over there.

Thanks.
