This little guy was the big brother of a recent session I had with a baby. I asked mom if I could take some pictures of him before they left for the day. He just turned on the charm when he got in front of the camera. I think he was just glad to not be bored anymore. A fun little guy with lots of personality.

Oh this is just fabulous, including that little tumb. Terrific eyes and lighting. I like this a lot. If I were to tweak anything, I might've done something with the arm of the chair to the left, but no big deal.
My favorite of the challenge. I love the expression. It is a great example of a (fairly) traditional portrait that captures tons of personality. Your lighting is wonderful. I am thinking this was taken with a fairly wide focal length (50mm or wider?) which I like because I think the slight distortion exagerates the playfulness and whimsy of the little guy's expression. 10 from me because I can't suggest a way to make it better.
Wow, that chair being such a bystander really makes this for me. Just the way he's obviously onto the back of it and engaging the viewer is just wonderful. Gorgeous eyes never hurt either.
