I do not agree that it needs more "even" light!. The side lighting is excellant!. No pros use straight, even lighting!. The side lighting gives depth and interest!. What it DOES need is some FILL light!. The eyes are dead and lost!. Just a touch of fill flash would still maintain your natural light effect, but would bring up the shadows somewhat and give some definition and catchlights in the eyes!. Learn to use fill flash in outdoor situations such as this!.

considering you shot into the sun, without a flash, then id say it was a good shot!. ok so it bleeds out, but it has seperation, and theres no loss of detail or "noise" on the face!.

only thing really wrong is the composition, the lads dead centre, think of the rule of thirds!. remember position adds perspective, (which you got with the low angle shooting up)

but, we dont need to see everything in one go, and fresh photographers forget this!. but its a good family snapshot!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The sky is blown out so you can't tell where the image ends, the light is nice and soft but one thing you should not do in portrait photography is have things sticking out of peoples heads it's distracting from the subject!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Agreed with Steve!. Catch light in the eyes are important!. A little bit of fill flash or a reflector under the face will help a lot!. also need to smooth out his forehead some!. Seems a little rough to me!. I don't mind the blown background!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The contrast is little bit high!.!. I needed sometime to understand the context of this photo!.

but the kid impression and expression is great!. the light over his face gestures are great!. but i still find him deattached from his surrounding context!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

more contrast!? the light is okay (maybe a bit more)!.!.!.the kid's expression is really good :)

you did well on the shadow part!.!.!.it looks so classical :P

personally, i think it's good :P nice sis (is that your cousin btw!?)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is there a smudge by the childs shoulder on the white side!? Do you like the balance and contrast!? I can't find anything wrong!. It's a nice shot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

looks perfect to me!.!.!.though I know nothing about photography!.!.!.looks like something you would see in a magazine!.!.!.plus who is that really cute kid!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It needs a little more even light!. Other than that, fabulous!Www@QuestionHome@Com
