I took over 250 shots of both my son and daughter for this challenge. After spending hours going through the shots I ended up with this one, the 2nd shot I took.

Very nice! I gave this a high score- the colors are great, the lighting is perfect and it has that natural feel to it even tho he is posed-which is hard to get ImO --beautiful choice of location too-
If I were a parent paying for my son's portrait, I'd be very pleased if the results were this good. Excellent subtle colors. Love the restraint shown here -- it is not oversaturated or oversharpened. Interesting that you went with a nearly square crop.
if the background was lit up in this, this would be an awesome picture. it is nice already but have a light foreground and a dark background make your eye settle a little too much on the bottom half of the shot
