Which picture of boy?

[Mike McCarty]

What do you think of the first one rather than the second two.

I think you have the boy in a good position as far as lighting. However, I'm not a big fan of the pose. The boy seems a little old to be clutching a stuffed animal, but that's just me.

I fooled around with the background some, trying to square things up. And, I eliminated the light colored vertical supports on the chair back and I think I would eliminate the horizontal support as well.

Hope this helps.
