One of a my neighboors sons, a very photogenic face.
I don't think this will do well, but I can't spot any technical imperfections and it meets the challenge perfectly, so I estimate a 5 at least.
A bit of dodging and burning, sharpened the eyes, adjusted the hue and saturation, some more dodging and burning, smart sharpened, resized.

Maybe the lips were done up a bit, but I can't agree with you about the eye's- those are their natural colour, but I did have to brighten them a bit because the lighting was dim.

I was one of your two 9s on this. I'm surprised to learn you touched up the lips -- I thought for sure those who commented on it were wrong. That's how youthful lips look! Anyway, I like the serious look on the boy's face and the fact you let the blemishes show. Handsome kid, too.
