This originally started off in landscape orientation which I liked more and which will I will use for our home, but thought it might be suffer since it wasn't in portrait. Sad, I know.... such is life.

Cropped to portrait form, levels adjustment
dodge, burn and sharpen his eyes

Took your email as an opportunity to see what's new in your portfolio--and this excellent shot jumped to my eyes. Nicely done--good pose and excellent lighting and sharpness. I'd like to see the landscape version you like as well.
Awww, what a cute closeup. I'm not crazy about the stark white border. Perhaps a green chosen from his eyes wouldn't have been as distracting for me, but overall...good job. I like it.
wow, great crop! I love the connection the viewer makes witht he pose. It's the proportion of the boys eyes to the frame. I don't know if that was done on purpose. I like this shot a lot, on the tech side though the highlights are almost blown out but not thats a big plus! the shadow on the left is a little to big but that can be a personal preference. great shot overall 9
