I'm not sure if at 11 he can open an ePHOTOzine account, perhaps he can with parental approval. That would be a good way to get feedback from a large number of people. If you had an account you could post his pictures on it with a suitable description perhaps.
Let's be encouraging to an 11 year old though, but you could buy him a Pentax camera then he can join in properly. :

Not got an EPhotozine account, I'll look at that. I've just remembered I opened a Talkphotography account, but never used it much.
As to buying him Pentax...well, he can inherit mine as I move up...maybe

Well I like them. AT 11 he doesn't know the rules so happily can break them and make photos that work well.
Buy the boy a Pentax, he has a good eye!

Ted, stop being so stingy, swap your hat for a PentaxAs to buying him Pentax...well, he can inherit mine as I move up...maybe
The young man has done well. Wonderful colour in both of them and I love the three turbines tucked into the corner.

Your boy has a good eye. I really like both these photographs. Don't bog him down with photographic rules, just let him have fun.

He has a neat, precise approach to the photography and should feel encouraged to carry on and see where it leads him.

The second image is just a peach.
1)He has framed the shot with the turbines to a corner rather than centre
2) The fact that the horizon is not level yet exists to give the turbines a baseline works very well. A thin dark horizon line across the image would not do anything for it. As it is, he has managed to show more of that wonderful sky.
Best regards.

Jeez Ted - don't give him a Pentax - he is making it look way too easy
1. Classic sea scape with nice shadow detail and depth
2. Nice comp - great sky and you can taste that storm coming!
Well done "Son of Ted"

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

I've put it in here as they were taken with his Fuji bridge camera.
They are straight off the camera, no P&P yet.
Hopefully these links will work.
