Wow..now that is a collection if I've seen one! I think it's cute! I don't mind the soft tones. The only thing I would have to say is I find it hard to see (not the right word) the toys in the middle. I don't know if it's because there are so many, the reflection or what.
A great capture of what boys do best!

Nice idea, but seems to bright because the glare off the table and the background with all different textures are too distracting. Your nephew's face looks great but in all I think that bright shiny reflecting table just is too much and also the kitchen cabinet is just too distracting.

Agree with A.L. on the bright cabinet, it's a distraction that should be burned in.
It's a very interesting treatment and the boy looks good and entertained. The 'treatment' and background don't mesh with the modern toys though imo....still I find the shot interesting.

"You have to milk the cow quite a lot, and get plenty of milk to get a little cheese." Henri Cartier-Bresson from The Decisive Moment.
It's a great concept. There are a lot of element to keep you eyes busy which is a positive in the way you set it up.
The cabinets as mentioned already are a bit distracting. I find my eyes drawn to his forehead. It could be the highlights. I might work on the skin on the forehead a bit.
I like the treatment. It almost has a Polaroid feel

My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.
Thanks, all. I appreciate the comments.

Agree; great image. I really like the treatment here, very well executed, BUT the highlight on the cabinet does need to go.
