I like it-
I like the shallow focus, and the tone behind-
was that from the lens?

Any editing trickery gone into this,
or was it imaged with a lens?

Sorry to ask,
but loads of people do their imaging with a computer, then call it photography-

The most striking thing is the composition, and I think it works here-

sirvad- can i ask why? it doesn’t do much good if you say you don’t like it and thats it….. maybe it’s just not your taste, which is fine. i actually think it resembles a bit like your photo of your child “looking up”…… like its the same sort of idea

jb7- Yeah its from the lens. only changed the white balance and sharpness in Aperture. other then that, no other editing. the lens is a canon 855mm f/1.2L.
i shot wide open at f/1.2, which gave me that very shallow depth of field. thanks

martin- thanks for the comment

I like the image, well captured. It’s a bit strange to see the head cut off like that, leaves me wondering what I’m missing?
