He was such a ham. This was taken in downtown Memphis. Amateur Photographer & would appreciate any feedback!
Thanks for looking, guys!

+1 about the watermark. It's a bit distracting.

I like the casual pose, reminds me of James Dean. I would've liked to have seen the collar turned up too, but that's a minor detail. It's a very nice pose and shot, but I'm not digging the pink-ish processing. Here we have a little man being all "Rebel Without a Cause", and the photo is pink.

Yup, distracting watermark, for sure. Nice........but distracting. maybe if the tree was smaller.
And the pinkish hue just doesn't cut it. Great photo otherwise. Like Anthony says..........very James Dean-ish. :)

Another +1 on the watermark comment, I love the pose, the set up of the shot and the general feel of it, it is a great picture, but the red toning isn't to my taste, I would have thought that maybe a Sepia or straight black and white might work better.
With that in mind, I hope you don't mind, I tried a quick Black and White conversion, with a slight crop to get rid of the watermark (well a lot of it). Like I say I hope you don't mind, I am not intending to cause offense. But here is my take on your fantastic capture.

I agree with the others, I'm not a big fan of the hue. This would be great in B&W if you did not want to do color. However, this a great capture! Good job!

Hey guys! Thanks so much for all of your feedback. I'm away for the weekend but when I get back, I'm gonna play around with a few of your suggestions. As far as the crazy large watermark goes, I started to put it there because a past client took advantage of my small watermark and decided to crop and steal a few images (low quality, but still). So the watermark is more to protect myself more than anything.
What do you guys do to protect your images from cheap clients?

I wish I could post all the pictures from that session. That sweet boy couldn't have been more fun to shoot! One, I am dying to post. Hope to get some feedback when I get around to posting it. Thanks again for your comments! Means a lot!
