I love Raish's comment on this is the TS thread. This really is a wonderful portrait and it's just right on my laptop. I suspect my home monitor might have been a touch darker. The thing with "dark" is you have to do it so it suits you. The differences in monitors means you'll never have it look the same to everyone. He is such a beautiful child.
I like the concept. I think your lights are a little too hot. Probably could switch the White Balance to Tungsten and fix that. A little dark on the right eye. Actually like his facial expression.
