Critique

This is a great shot it is not an original shot and many have attempted it but few have succeeded. The photo draws my eye to the center point were he is blowing the dandy lion (no I am glad I said it like that) that said I believe the image would be more powerful if one was able to have the particles in focus.  They are distracting they few like dust spots on the lens and it takes away from what would other wise be a perfect shot. The aperture is spot on and the blurred background is excellent. Lighting is good but the white shirt makes it bright and is distracting. I believe this is a color only shot if one would want it in black and white i would recommend having more contrast with the light and dark areas in the face. The shot makes me think of sunny days of youth and innocence's. It reminds me of when I was a young lad growing up in the mountains and playing outside. This great photo and I believe shows the artist true potential in photography.
