what I hate to do

I am working on my people skills. This time on the kid next door.

I know the background is blown, but I could not get this kid to stay still for more than 1.5 seconds.

This is the only other shot where he was somewhat still.

I like the first one better cuz you shot from the kid's level. Nice.

Gotta ask, did you bribe him with the popsicle??

Does that make me a bad person if I did???


Of course I did. And it didn't really help any.

I think, Jon this is another case where I would like to crop differently to remove some of the over exposed background and concentrate more on the chief subject. Particularly with the second image. As he 'doesn't have any feet' I would be tempted to raise the bottom edge to just below his hand.

The basic shot of the boy is fine, except for the sunglasses reflections. Sometimes, suitable reflections can work well but I would certainly want to darken these reflections, if not remove them.

Reflections on both sunglasses and ordinary spectacles have caught me out on so many occasions.
