    Watermelon.

    This is the first photo I've posted here. :yesnod:

    This is a picture of my 3 year old nephew. I think he's adorable.

    Re: Watermelon.

    Welcome to the forum. I think you have a cute kid shot of an adorable child and the pose with the eating the watermelomn is great. My one point here might be that I think shooting this from a lower vantage point so that you could see more of his face and not cut off the shoe would have made a good shot even better. Getting down closer to his eye level I think would be best.
    If you have cropped this some from a larger image, then I think leaving more room all around while still keeping him in the lower left corner might improve.
    Nice moment and fine shot.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    I agree with Gary about the composition suggestions, and his blonde hair is close to being overexposed, but you have captured a great candid moment, so sometimes the aesthetics outweigh the technical side of an image. This is one of those times. :-)

    Re: Watermelon.

    Thank you for your comments.
    I did crop, because there was a white plate in the bottom right, and I thought it looked better with just the grass around him. I thought the same thing, about going lower, as well. Maybe next time.

    And, believe it or now, that's how blonde his hair is!!
