Great. Love it. I scrolled up to crop the bottom of the frame just above where the two pillows (or mattresses?) meet on the left, and I find that crop more pleasing simply because the out of focus area at the bottom does not take my attention. But regardless, the expression on the little fellas face is terrific, not to mention his body language. I look forward to seeing this featured.

Great use of space and the expression is wonderful.

Nice portrait.

King said 731 days ago:

Great. Love it. I scrolled up and down at the same time and got the improvement that George mentioned and, at the same time, saw the subject up front and center. I didn't miss the wall at all.

I just don't get all the approbation for off center, extreme negative-space compositions. However, I know--because I've seen it--that even 99% negative space can be very appealing when appropriate to the subject.

Fire away.

George...Thank you! I see what you are saying. I tried a tighter crop but I was so in love with the length of the shot - I kept it full framed.

TheShadeReplied, phototext and Jens - thank you!

King - "I just don't get all the approbation for off center, extreme negative-space compositions...Fire away."

Nah...feeling very giddy - I personally love this shot for more than photographic reasons...and having it featured on WeeklyShot is the cherry on top!

reality,

You're right,of course, and now I'm embarrassed that my first words were not, "Congratulations on your featured photgraph!"

My apologies. My remarks were not aimed at you personally. I was just trying to get a discussion going (again).
