The area to the left of his eyes, is distracting. Everything else around him is light colored, then the black shapes to the left really stand out. Moreso than his eyes I'm afraid. Looks like the lighting is a bit harsh on his shirt to the right of the photo, and a bit dark on his forhead. focus and clarity are good, and I like the detail. ~Heather~
A very compellling child - and nice portrait. The whitest, brightest areas on both sides at the top compete for attention - which is unfortunate. It's a very good example of selective desat.
