Calculations to black and white. The boy was "spotlighted" by the strange lighting in the room. The only reason he's being held is because his sister was helping me take his picture.

Must bump this a point. There's something about the mood here that feels transitive -- like his momentary joy is about to erupt into a tantrum as a result of the restraint. Good.
I like where you were going with this photo, just don't think you got there. Seems very grainy, maybe adjust iso speed. Also the subject behind the boy needs to be lighted. Good Luck
