At someone else's suggestion, I created and posted this color

Good subject,his face is reflecting his thoughts on first day at school.

I think the DOF(by PS,if used) is too much, donno' if u have done that on purpose to bring the subject in more focus,but this is making the main subject rather more crisp n' bold than needed.
