This is a funny picture. I like the facial expression and it totally matches the title, he really looks like he's secretely planning something. Great capture.
As far as the composition, nice job with filling the frame. I think a slighly tighter crop would have been beneficial as it would have gotten rid of the distracting bright area on the lower right corner. My eyes keep getting drawn to it and it takes attention away from the subject. Since this was an Advanced Editing challenge, I would have probably gotten rid of the bright spot on his right shoulder and on the middle right hand area of the picture as well.
The focus is right for a portrait of this nature but I think perhaps slightly sharper eyes would look better. The lighting is also good, no blown highlights. Keep up the good work.

Awwwww, so cute! What a great little expression you captured. The composition is good, nice that it's off centered and the colors are nice. Good lighting.
Oh my....whatever is making he/she so hungry that expression is doing the same to me. Nice shot, cool angle - I wish is wasn't so tight and had the rest of the head and maybe less of the shirt. Gotta go...I'm starvin (lol) -- nice job.
