Photographer’s Note
I haven't posted a portrait for awhile, but I thought this little guy was so adorable I wanted to share him :) I met him on a beach with his mommy. He really didn't know what to think of me...:)

Hi Karen,
We can see how much progress you've got through since you've joined TE! The subject, exposure and framing are fine, but it doesn't have the sharpness you obtain now, and it has a lot of noise! Nice little boy anyways!
Greetings
Laurent

Hello Karen
So, I finally found that you have TE gallery too. This little boy's expression and hairdo is fantastic, nice up close. Good B&W.
However, problem : blur and noise.
TFS, cheers

Hello Karen,
A very good close-up of this little boy with a very expressive face. It is a little grainy, but that is more than made up for by the charming subject and his hairstyle.

Dear Karen,
surely this boy's hair style is interesting.
I like his expressive look, and his face and eyes look so perplexed, perhaps you and your camera seem different and strange to him, but it is natural expression.
thank you,
Akihisa

AH, Karen
what a doll. He is so cute! You have composed and cropped this perfectly and caught a wonderful curious but wary expression. Very nicely done!! Thanks and have a great weekend,

Keren, I like this portrait. Very expressive and natural. I just would have deleted the purple color. Compliments, Ciao, Marco.

Hi Karen,
Funny little head, big eyes and great expressions in his face.
I think you went to the edge with your zoom giving a lot of noise to the picture.
Best regards
Marc

a smart little guy and showing childlike askance at you taking his photo...un bidden..
noise is there because you switched to black to white..i have found this and i dont know why
maybe better to use a black to white setting on the camera in the first instance to aviod it...but who knows what one may decide later
did a workshop..as i am tempted to do with portraits and such to see if i can do what i did to my black to white problems
cheers
