Compositionally this is a very strong photo, and the subtle colors do great justice to the subject. I love the look on the little boys face. Priceless.
Hmmm.... I just don't like the lighting much.. I also hate to say it, but the Tatoo on the arm takes away from the picture for me. The top right part of the photo feels empty. Cute kid though, and I am asking myself why.... :)
I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......
