Merhaba Erdem, first of all good framed for a portrait, innocent expression of the boy is attractive, wonder of the reflections on eyes, good color and tones, good controll of light, would like better sharpness.İyi yillar...

The expression and eye contact are beautiful, the colours are natural. Therefore the lighting is well done. Good composition, the face is in the middle, but the door helps for this.

Thank you Jan. I was caught between centering the subject and including the distracting hand of the mother or the eye catching door details. I chose to center the little guy. :-) Regards, EK

Hi Erdem, I remember this little guy. Your previous submission was much sharper than this. Especially the eyes in this one are soft. The hand at the background is a little distracting. As for the positive aspects, I like the expression and eye contact. Thanks for sharing. Umit

Thank you Umit Bey. Yes, you're right, he is the same little guy. :-) And, yes, the sharpness should be better. :-( Selamlar, EK

Hi Dear Erdem Bey. Good portrait. The child's expression is very good, strong and impressive. eye contact is very good. Colours are nice. Perhaps sharpness could be better. Thanks for sharing. Best regards... Mutlu yillar...

Thank you very much Dear Bahadir Bey. I guess my choice of aperture/shutter speed was the reason behind those blurry/shaky details of the face. :-) Sevgiler, EK
