In blue space

This picture is well taken, but I believe it's missing a 'meaning' to it. The part I love the most about this piece is that red shoes contrast against the blue so much. The colors are amazing like always, but I'm expecting you to push yourself a little more. Have more depth to the picture, a meaning behind it. If your intent was to let the blue surface took like outer space you achieved that. Unfortunately, I'm not getting much from your study other then he's looking up. There is no connection between the audience and how he's feeling.

That really is the biggest thing for me right now, is that the boy isn't connecting with the viewers and I would fix that.

Thank you for letting me critique this.
