Hey Jose - I would have really enjoyed your photo if you had taken a few paces to the left. Keeping the boy on the right margin of the photo - seemingly to stare into the sunset. I would have tried cropping - leaving more room at the bottom any maybe less at the top.
A charming shot. I like the composition as is and would not have put the sun to the boy's left. The only thing that bothered me was the halo around the boy.
David, you're night. I processed this one with Capture Nx some time ago. but I think I'll have to reprocess again avoiding that problem. Thanks for your comments !
Hi Jose,
David did catch my thought on the halo and I too agree with Jeffrey and Robert on the 2 steps left would have made the image stronger. I do like the crop as presented.......and with the removal of the halo....this will be a nice image....even with the boy centered.
Hey Joe, I am with David. I like the COMP exactly as is. It leads the viewer to think, "The sun is so pretty; he must be looking at something really interesting."
