Great job Lonnit. Also would like to mention, the catchlight in the eye looks really good and exactly in the right spot.

Thanks Aam. It was just a no-biggie, quickie shot. I had him stand near the living room window and I stood over him. This one was after I'd taken a couple shots and I was trying to get another but he kept trying to get closer and closer to look into the lens, instead of letting me get back to position. I saw the moment and clicked. ~ Lonnit

Btw, you have to tell me how you took this photo! This photo is just beautiful.

Lonnit, I haven't read any of the comments, but let me tell you. This photo is very cool. And, your son looks a lot like my nephew, almost his twin. God bless them both.

excellent, very nice.

Forget the 1/3 2/3 rule. Our eye tells us when a shot works not a ruler. Very nice shot Lonnit.

Thanks Cat. I did get several parts to still be happening on the grid, so maybe that's what's holding it together. ;) ~ Lonit

This is an excellent phot Lonnit. Very charming, inquisitive and adorable. Very nice work with the eye. BTW the 1/3rd, 2/3rd rule is meant to be broken, sometimes!!! -Cat

Abs, I barely cropped this at all, only taking a tad off the left and bottom to make a slight correction in the compostion. The shot was at ISO400, which, in the 10D, starts really bringing in the grain already. :( That's why I'd really like to upgrade to the 20D which handles higer ISOs so much more masterfully. Thanks all again! :) ~ Lonnit

Lonnit, yes...you have masterfully captured the essence of the pretty eye but the grains (which bothers me) on the dark-left cheek/face makes me wonder whether you cropped the heck out of the original photo. excellent compo and dof btw. -Abstract

This certainly is an inquisitive shoot. You can see it in his eyes, which are adorable! Shu

Love the perfect detailed eye, the DOF and his expression of curiosity. Great shot. -Jose Pablo.

Oh my gosh! I'm rather shocked by all the great feedback already! I was iffy about this one. What I liked about it was the clarity of the eye. It was bugging me though that it fell upon the center line - I don't normally center my shots, so these responses really took me by surprise. RK, WOW! That's quite a compliment - thank you! Thank you all. :) ~ Lonnit

Beautiful shot, Lonnit. I love the way you captured that eye and the wonderful texture and tones of the skin. --Mary Anne

Lonnit, you are the masteress of portraits. Like the way the face is tilted, shadow on lower half and the eyes are powerful. Great job. - RK
