I love the shot but can I make a comment with some constructive criticism. The little boy is washed out one half of his face is washed out. He's has a very light complexion and the positioning of the light is too harsh and you may need to diffuse it in some way. I know it's hard to shoot hey key lighting when the person has such a light complexion. I am by no means an expert but I have shot many portraits over the years. #7542834Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
