I really love this. It's a picture inside a picture; stunning. No criticism at all, except I'm not sure how I feel about the brightness of the sky.

I can't point out anything that you should improve...

But I do hope that's a toy camera!

Looks like you put no time in to this shot. Hard to go wrong with a child and a camera. What is going to make this shot say "midnitejam" photographed this?

The candids that tell a story (however insignificant) always appeal to me.

My take on this image is that a wyley young photographer already wise beyond his years has devised a method for getting his shot. He used the corn as food to manipulate his subject to pose for him.

Bla, he recently ask Mom for a Digital Hassie (as in Hasselblad) for his upcoming birthday

In this picture he is using my old 300D

is this hand developed? Looks like it was done with a filter.

Good shot, I like the colour contrast above all imo. Did you arrange the colours digitaly or is that how It was captured (filter?)?
I'm a noob and very curious about these details...

No filters- not even a polarizer. In photoshop with the brightness/contrast filter, I decreased the brightness and increased the contrast sliders slightly until the colors popped. All of my digital shots have low contrast and need a boost.
