I didnt vote in this challenge, but I will give some insite on what I see.

First I like the fact you are down low on your sons level it gives the proper perspective of where you want to shoot a baby/toddler from. I can see the sharpness in the photo, but I think you needed a wider apreture to get more of the face in focus. The fact that you dont see his eyes really doesnt bother me too much thought it may have been nice to see the catchlights for a more realistic view.

There is a slight color cast on the right side of the childs head, this is normally caused by different lighting temperature from the flash vs another light in the room.

I like the DOF other than what I mentioned above and the tonality in the photo.

Very interesting angle. I gave this a 6 when I voted. Although normally you need to see a persons eyes in a portrait, occasionally a new perspective is nice.

Even though you got the focus right on to the eyes and give a different perspective of a child trying to crawl (?), seeing the eyes would have given this much more impact.

Cute baby! Would like a better point of view though. Maybe more on the eyes.
