This is my super cute nephew Dylan again, trying to help me out for another challenge. He really got excited when we brought over the rubber duckies, and said "duck" or "ducks" repeatedly throughout the evening. The windows are allowing some sunlight into the room.

What a cutie!! Lighting on this shot looks good...nice and even. To improve the photo even more, I might suggest trying to find some kind of backdrop (rather than the carpet). In the lower left corner, the texture of the carpet draws my eye away a bit. I like the selective desat you've used here. My only other wish would be that I could see this little cutie's other eye! :-) But I know what it's like trying to direct children. Still a high score from me :-)
