Better than the sepia filtered versions, but are the catch lights in his eyes real? It looks like someone drilled though them. S-

Hi St3v3M thanks for looking, yes the catch lights are from on camera flash.

Very nice version, like the train, a much more natural and nuanced background that tells more of the story and makes Lewis the star of it. The engine-oil smudges really show up on this version, hope your judges are smart enough about trains and boys to figure out what it is. I look forward to seeing more of Lewis in the future.

I've been following this shot through all of the different versions and I like this one the best, so far. I would add some contrast to the boy's face as it still seems a bit flat. Other than that, very nice with the new background nanaval.

A winner my friend..you have done some great work on this shot and transfered it from ho-hum to wow...his parents are going to be thrilled..the train background made a big improvement from the fence!!

Ok this is by far the best version. The background goes with the boy and you have done a good job of replacing it. I like the B&W much better than the sepia.I think it goes with the era that this image evokes. It is amazing to me how you have managed to fix that streak of sunlight on his cheek. Maybe tone down the highlights in his eyes some and print.

Way to go! Far more of the full, fine, confident character of the lad shines through here.
I'd still like to,see more contrast within his face, but given its lighting, or shading thereof, I may be asking too much.
Here's where I wish the portrait gurus would jump in!

This is the best one. The one you posted with the white fence, just makes your eyes go to the fence. You really, really need to get the flash off the camera. Honestly, that is the first difference between "pictures" and "portraits" You need to shape the light to show dimension in the face.

Thank you miniev sorry for the delay in replying, I hope to get more pictures of Lewis soon. I am glad you like this version as I too think that with all the help I have had it is the best.

Thank you SonyA580, I have learnt a lot since posting the first picture and think that it is the best. I have taken note of your comment about it being a bit flat on the face. The next time I take pictures of Lewis I am going to really think out my shot. We have a Pasty day here in August so will get some then. I am glad you like the picture.
