"Oh, my, it's that camera-thing again." Nice capture of the expression. It's a little too bright on the left side, but I'm not sure if that is a serious detraction.
The L is excellent. Very good clarity in that eye, and the addition of the hand is a great touch. The tonality falls apart over on the R, though - just a bit to dark, and lacks contrast particularly around the ear and hair. Tough call...
The right side of the image seems to border on a very mid-level grey, so that side of the image doesn't carry the impact that the left side of the photo does. If you maybe pushed that middle-grey a more towards dark or light, that side of the image might not seem to walk the fence. The child's expression is wonderful, though. Great job capturing the softness of the left side of the photo while still keeping such high detail.
What a wonderful expression you've captured! I like the soft look on the left and wonder if a little diffused light on the right might benifit this shot.
This is a great candid moment. And, the image has good dynamic range with a nice catch light in the eye. I also like the tight cropping. Just enough sharpness in the eyes, while the rest of the image has a "baby" softness. That is hard with a digital camera, well done.
