My son, Aidan. I know his expression seems forced here, but to be honest he came up with the whole pose himself. I asked him to give me a "thinking smile" and he immediately did this, so I snapped a shot. He's great...

Nice lighting, the pose looks a little forced, he doesn't quite look relaxed ... but then who does in front of the camera :) The focus on his eyes is good
"Ok," thought Aiden, "I've had enough. This is the 30 gazillionth picture now. When will it end? I've smiled so much my cheeks hurt. I'm missing my favorite show and I know I heard Kenny ring the doorbell and ask if I could come play and my bum is getting sore sitting here so much and if that flash goes off in my eyes one more time I'm going to scream and fine I'll smile one more time for you HOW'S THIS don't tell me I'm getting a manic look in my eye I know I'm getting a manic look in my eye but you won't stop can we just stop now I'm hungry and tired and want to watch cartoons and..."
FLASH.
"Ok Aiden, that's enough. Thank you for being so good. I made some pudding if you want some."
"I love pudding!" thought Aiden, as he ran upstairs.
What I've learned, doing portraiture, is to not have the back of the hand ever showing. Obviously, rules are made to be broken, but I personally would like to see the hand turned so the inside faces out... if that makes sense. If not PM me!
