Photographer's Note
It’s quite a common thing to see street musicians, performances, tarot readers or painters inside the beautiful Retiro park, in Madrid. Having a portrait of yourself might be a nice souvenir from your visit to the park, or so this young gentleman should have thought. Certainly, he seemed to have enjoyed a lot the experience :-)

Very good dof on this shot it enhances the image so much, I also like your composition framing , by catching the artist hand and his glancing look at the boy, just adds to this study of wonder that seems to come from his young face ,
Suggest crop to right side were the other face appears in frame and a very very small amount of contrast / sharpen would top off this well spotted and excellent study

This has really grown on me, Alfredo. The child's expression is wonderful, and you have emphasised it so well with your limited depth of field. I also like the use of B&W. I could not resist attempting a workshop but with a different crop from the one suggested by Guzman.

Alfredo, I'm impressed; you are improving a lot and your pictures are getting every day more personal and really catch the eye. I completely agree with Martin's comments and workshop, but I also think you are on the right way.
Keep on like that!

This picture is really great to me! The composition is perfect and the litle guy expression is precious. One of my favourites :)

I love this shot Alfredo !
Very very well seen and captured, and your point of view and DOF is simply great.
The only thing that bothers me here is the that doll and the trolly in the background, I think those objects should be blurred out as they distract the attention from the baby's face (see workshop)
Very well done :).

This picture was captured at the perfect split second in time. All the ingredients are there to tell the whole story. I find this shot quite inspiring to get out and see things differently. Well captured Alfredo.

Great picture Alfredo, The baby's face stands out.. Was just wondering is there someone holding the baby?
