    Dundee

    First trip to the water park.
    I love the expression on his face, and the hat. However, does the shadow cast add to the photo in a positive or negative way? I got blasted once before with a shadow covered face, but I love it.
    Hmm.
    What could be better about this shot?

    Alterations:
    Cropped and resized.
    A slight PS cloning/alteration on the hat on the right side was done (a strap was poking through, and it just directed too much attention to it)

    I don't like the shadow over the eye, but overall I like the shot. Framing is good.

    I love the expression on his face too and I don't think the shadowing takes away from anything, it doesn't appear to take over the whole photo and direct attention away fromt he rest of the picture. IMHO.

    Nice shot!

    I love the shot. I think the shadow works ok with this shot because of where it is. It starts right above the eye that is looking right at you and your attention is on that. Makes me wander what the child is thinking! Good shot.
