Oh jeeze no, what a terrible photo...
This critique won't be for the fainthearted, if you can't stand it just skip and whatever you chose, remember this is only for fun, no harm done.
Firstly the timing : I have often repeated photo is about time, time has been frozen for minutes in this one : the great glaciation is coming back, bring the mammoths on... the kid has been transformed into a statue of salt. this is the kind of pose we don't expect anymore in the XXIth digital century. It's clic-clac Kodak days again... just a family snapshot.
secondly the framing : again some heavy duty work to do, everything than can be crooped, butchered and cut has been : limbs, ballons, animals and plants... welcome to the photo slaughterhouse.
Thirdly the color matching : the good point is there is no nuclear bluegreen, except this one it's a full rainbow with everything mixed up.
Fourthly the background : a good photo starts with a good background. This photo was challenged since its birth. I challenge anyone to shoot something decent with such messy background.
It has been months since I haven't critiqued such a weak shot. There are many in TrekEarth but it randomly occurred on you, nothing personal, just exercising. ;)
