By the Fence Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is just one of the boys that i came across while in Mexico about a month ago. He stood by the fence outside his home, with a calm and confidence far beyond his years. i asked if i could take some pictures, and he expressed his affirmation, but didn't change his facial expression whatsoever, leaving me free to shoot five or six different angles. This is the one that i liked the most.

Hi Sam,
Nice framing idea, You have got this real close-up with warm colour tones. Good handling of light which seems to be coming over his shoulder.

Sam,
His skin tone looks a little too red/orange.. almost as if he's covered in paint or something.
Great angle though.

This is a nice idea, but i feel like a few things could have made this a little bit more impactful. First, at 24mm you could have had a more wide-open aperture than 4.0 for less detail in the unnecessary stuff in the background...with 4.0 background looks like noise of asa..
There is one more think that kid skin looks like apache , too much red and from neck to arm there is owerexpose .. if you should manage all this things they would really put this at a good photograph work.
Anyway still gets smile from me ;)
Thanks!
