    Re: A chair to grow in.

    You seem to have great golden light, a flash would have ruined it, IMO.
    Unless you had a golden gel to go with it !
    You got his face in a nice pool of light, I don't think you needed flash.
    Perhaps just lift his head up a bit into the light.

    I think it just needs sharpened . It looks soft. I agree with Paul a flash would have ruined it.

    I think this image would have been stronger if the boy was seated or standing in the chair instead of standing off to the side.
    Too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair.
