Same.

The little boy is cute, though. (:

I agree with the above. Also, it just seems a bit too basic.

Is everyone seeing a different pic then me. Im seeing a unedited picture of what looks like somewhere in china. And i dont see a little boy?
Edit: I see it now! sorry. Umm i like it. Its just the boy that is cool. The rest looks like an imnage with an effect I dont really like. Try vectoring the image.

I agree with everyone else as well. When you said postcard I was literally expecting a postcard. Like this.

If you want it blurry, then you should just use Gaussian blur.
Also, background seems kind of drab. Since your front image is pretty simple, you should choose something complex behind it. Cause right now, it doesn't look like he's in Thailand...just some random area you can find anywhere else in this world haha.

Eh I hate that filter, if you wanted to posterize it you should have just went all out and vectored it to match. Make the guy smaller too..
