Love how the balloon seems to look down on the little fellow :-) Maybe it could have been cropped a bit tighter in the top?

Harhar...what a fun shot.

hmm...there seems like something is missing in this shot. I love the expression on the child and Elmo seems to compliment the child, but the empty space seems a little too much. Cute kid!

It's funny, the consistent comment that there is too much emptyness in the frame strikes me as correct, and obvious. If this was someone else's shot, I'd leave the same comment. It never occured to me to crop it before I uploaded it, but now it makes perfect sense.
The framing is on purpose. I have two boys (this is the little one) and I am a hobby photographer, so you can imagine that I take a LOT of pictures of them. I wanted something different than the typical framing, so I was laying on the ground next to the high chair. It was cracking him up. I was framing it like this on purpose. My biggest complaint is that I didn't capture his hand.
Maybe I'll try and add another balloon in Photoshop...

The balloon is a nice touch. The image cropping detracts from the image. I would prefer it cropped tighter above the balloon.
