it was series but another image not up load i will try post again

I like this image... However, I think it might have benefited a bit if the camera were pointed down a bit so as to cut off the topmost tree and include more of the boy's knee.

However, just cropping out the trees at the top would be the way that I would go...

hi richard thanks for comment

Nice connection between the boy, his environment and his goat.

My approach would have been the opposite of Richard's. I would have gotten lower so the boy wouldn't have been looking up to the camera. The position would have probably resulted in a tree "growing" out of the top of the boy's head, so I would have had the boy move to a different place perhaps to his left. If possible, I would have found a location that didn't have such bright highlights and intensely strong shadows.

Notice the strong color cast in the image. Correct that and you'll like the image, especially the skin tones, much more. Speaking of color, the purple pants are so distracting that I would convert this to monochrome using a green filter.

If you look at the image at its largest size, notice that the goat is sharply in focus but the boy's face is not. A smaller aperture (larger number and depth of field) would have solved that problem.

You used a shutter speed of 1/60. I do my best to use nothing longer than 1/200 in case people move. With young children and animals, I try to use nothing longer than 1/500.

The image looks elongated on my screen. Anyone else?

Hi Vaez , nice image I would crop the green part at the top as Richard suggests. I also agree with Mike's comments about the skin tones and purple pants.

hi mike thanks for comment and attention and suggestions
i use f:5/6 exposure :1/60 iso 100

i agree with you about sharp goat is more sharper than boy s face i think depth of field 5/6 is good

thank you john for viewing yes is right i must crop IMO

Vaez, Mike says f/5.6 is not enough, he suggests you should use f/8 or a bigger f number next time

Never mind the few slight tweaks which could be applied to this image, Vaez, it is still a very good shot.

[IzzieK]

The shot is good but like John, I noticed that it is elongated too...
