Candid C&C

[John27]

Hey all,

This is a shot with some post-processing in lightroom, completely candid (so yes, the face isn't clean and he has scratches on his forehead from tripping and falling the week before!), but I just kinda liked it, he is a very photogenic kid. This was just a "snapshot expedition" at a family event, but I wanted to see what you all thought of this one.

It looks out of focus and way too soft for my liking.

To me it seems over exposed, and I think you went to far in PP, it distracts from a cute subject, and yes, it seems a bit soft.

Overexposed? My monitor must be horrid then...

Nice expression, but i think that the focus should be sharper on an image this close...

example...

You mean under exposed??

And its oof.

The blurryness of the image kills it for me. Some images can deal with blur on a more artistic level, but not this one.

The image seems to be under exposed a bit, with also a lack of contrast.

In terms of photo quality, I would trash it. In terms of sentimental value, it might hold some for you and be a reason to keep it.

This is another shutter speed too slow for focal length making it soft
