Oh what a wonderful portrait !!! Great light, so touching pose and eye expression, excellent skill tones ... so impressive, excellent done Sourosh !!! My very best compliments, 7 +++, Srna
I REALLY like the lighting of this image. The expression, the color, everything about it is moody, even sombre.
The only concerns I really have with it are the shelf or whatever it is in the background and the softness of the focus. Not only does the shelf cut right through the kid's head, but it's also just a bit of a distraction. However, it looks like it would be easy enough to burn in that area to make it completely black.
The focus looks a bit off, but that could simply be a lack of sharpening after resizing, so I'm not quite as concerned with that. It's just worth noting, I think.
Besides these two rather minor issues, I think this is a great image, and it actually makes me feel something. My favorite kinds of pictures are just that--images that illicit emotion. Good job. :)
