You posted at 1 am my local time then removed 2 hours later, what were you expecting...
These photos are very nice...... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I like the crop in the first. Interesting angle. (shooting position, not the fact that you turned your camera 45 degrees). I like the fact that you got down on his level.
The second doesn't work for me. Just a bit too much going on in it.
As far as overall, wish you didn't have the hot spot on his head and the rear seat.
Nice Next time with the light coming from that angle maybe use a reflector to bet the rough shades out of the face, other than that they are nice. Merry Xmas

Thank you for your comments, appreciate it...

Thanks for both for your honest opinions...
Yeah it sucks that I did blow out the hair and seat, but unfortunately I had to shoot this in the middle of a very sunny summer day with the sun just behind him.
Plus this little kid had the attention span of about 2 Milli-seconds before he took off, so I was lucky to get these few shots with the bike for his parents.
Ideally if I had my flash attached or some reflectors it would have been much better, but even with the blown highlights I liked the look of the 1st shot.
Maybe because it gave the kid some attitude with that look and made him look older than he was...
Thanks again...
Merry Christmas...
Next on your wishlist is a large sunscreen/diffuser! Or a just as capaple DIY version!
It looks to be a wall behind him, maybe get someone up there holding a large diffuser.
While a diffuser would be nice here, I am not totally sure it would be necessary. There appears to be plenty of ambient light; this is why I use the spot meter in manual mode. Likewise, a proper fill flash would work well in this situation.
Ok. Well, I could be wrong. It just looks like it should be within latitude to me, or a little closer anyway. Perhaps some of his hair would clip out, but not so much to create this halo-of-death effect.
Just to clarify, you metered off the shirt and did not compensate, right? The only thing is that the shirt looks like it's about one stop under what I'd expect it to be in this case. Did you do any post processing or contrast adjustments?
If this is how you metered it, you could have stopped down twice and still retained ample detail in the shirt. ARe you sure that you didn't mean matrix metering, or some other evaluative metering mode?
