fun with chicky

[Jeff08]

1. in what area is critique to be sought?
composition.. i was thinking whether would it be better if i took the full body..

2. what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
i hoped to capture the boy's happiness playing around..

3. under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
i saw their household full of chickens, got interested because we rarely see this in singapore anymore.. the kids started to play around and posed for us..

4. what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
i thought it would be better if it was a tighter crop and sharper..

IMHO...
1. tighter crop to remove the elbow on the right
2. full body is better than the cropped feet
however, sometimes you miss the moment if you take too long to compose.

In this case, I feel you capture a nice moment

nice moment, but the composition leaves a lot to be desired. inclusion of stray elements, abrupt removal of feet, and the framing doesn't really seem to click into place as a whole.
