This shot makes me smile...

I like the composition and choice of background...

Bravo'

I'm kind of partial to it myself :)

Ask a kid to tilt his head slightly and he flops it over like his neck was broken.  :-)  A small white reflector in front of him would bounce enough light back into his eyes to create a couple of desirable catch-lights there.  But that observation is for the benefit of others as we have already had this discussion.  A keeper in any case.  Best, LM.

great.  At first I wasn't sure about the body part that is visible in the bottom LH corner.  It's difficult to understand what it is.  Usually difficult-to-understand objects distract.  Either show more so it can be identified or don't show it at all.  But the more I'm looking at the photo the more I think it doesn't matter in this case.  Perhaps there could be more visible light sparkles in the eyes, but that's a tiny nitpick.  I like the different light levels. Very nice.  Cheers, Micheal

Very nice

Next time We set up and shoot, I will be incorporating a reflector in front of my so I can get some bounce light towards the face.  The light in this photo is being bounced off the ceiling and a reflector would be a nice addition. 

When I cropped this photo I was looking for a square format.  I knew the leg was in the scene and did not clone it out or crop it out.  In fact, I, subconsciencely left that bit in.  I remember moving it around that leg and decided on that piece to be left.  I do see what you mean on it not being very well defined.  I'll work on that next time.

Thanks
