A bit desaturated, guassian blurred the background, color dodged the eyes, cleaned up a few scratches (common on a 6 year old), and used unsharp mask. Wasn't really sure where I was originally going with this image, but I was quite pleased with the outcome. He yawned right before I took the picture which made his eyes more glossy.

  How awesome to get to start out with photography so young. You commented on my bridge close to where you live.
I loved shooting there! I looked thru your gallery and didn't see any shots from your area.

This is awesome...those eyes are beautiful!
