Hi Everyone,
I was just going through some older shots and came across this one I took of my son.
I would be interested to see what poeple think of it.
C&C greatly appreciated
Cheers
Andrew

I feel it is nicely processed.
It is a great capture of the "not again dad" face that happens to lots of keen photographers.
It is good that he does not have the put on smile, an honest face is always better.

I like it as well.

Maybe you could do a tryptych with happy times and angry times?

I agree.

We, as photographers, tend to often fall into the camp of wanting or needing (or being pressured) into taking happy snaps, but that is not what it's all about at all. This image is so much more than just a happy snap.

I like it a lot, Andrew.

Thanks guys.
It was an "oh dad not again" look that he was giving me.

I like the idea surenj of a tryptych. I'll have to give it a go. and see what it looks like.

It is a very good and honest portrait. I agree with the above. I prefer a serious subject to one with a false smile. In your case, you captured an interesting expression in his eyes.
To create a tryptyck, as Surenj suggest, you need to have other portraits of similar quality. Have you thought of giving this portrait a painting or charcoal effect? I would try to see what you get.
However, your portrait is good enough as it is and I would consider enlarging it and putting it to canvas.
