    Nice shot. Both subjects are well exposed and the shot is well composed with a nice blur to the background.

    Good job.

    Thanks Larry!

    I like how the lighting turned out on this one and Kirby and Kyle's expressions.

    Cheers!

    I like the B&W treatment in this case. The shallow depth of field along with the treatment helps to reduce the effect of the objects around your nephew's head.

    I like the expressions on their faces. Especially the young boy. Great capture!

    Thanks Doug!

    I'm not sure what my f-stop was on this shot but I probably could have done even better given that I was using my 50mm f/1.4 lens.

    Cheers!
