Trying to replicate a 70's era film "snap shot" look reminiscent of my

childhood. Love to hear your thoughts!

I certainly like the play of light and shade on his face. On the other hand his eyes are too dark and look lifeless. Good framing. Nice-looking kid. Cheers, Micheal

Thanks Michael for the honest feedback. The unbiased perspective is helpful. It difficult to judge the technical merit of a photograph when the subject matter is so personal. Thank you!

A happy face Tim with a warm smile………

An excellent child portrait with nicely written facial details and beautiful skin tones…………

But also successful control over the harsh light under the specific conditions.

 

 

I know I've lost a bit in the highlights, but I really wanted that "snapshot" look. I appreciate the positive feedback!

I think you've achieved your goal, snapshot and all. The color cast works well, expanding its appeal back a couple decades to a time when many captures had this sheen.
