lovely

this photo is nicely composed, but it's too flat, you're whites are gray in this photo. You either need to increase contrast or increase brightness

Thank you for that very concise and reasonable input dem90...I increased contrast a hair, it was a very early morning upload, perhaps I was a cup of coffee or two behind....LOL. It should appear better now.

It look much better now. And i know the feeling. I sometimes edit my photos late at night and in the morning I look at them and go "what was I thinking?". It's amazing how easy it is to make a bad photo when you're tired

Sweet - love the 'blankie', shame you cropped off some of his fingers

lovely smiles

A lovely photo, Personally I would crop a bit off the right and the top.

yes it does look better now, many thanks!!

You are welcome

Also, with backlight, it's best if you use a flash so the face isn't so dark
