i had a monitor issues that led me to believe was jet black, first comment made me check on my other macbok pro and ipad and confirmed you could see background grrr not happy bunny but good comments an had fun doing this shoot, was testing out my new 130x40 cm softbox and grid.
Pretty good finish for a good shot; perhaps, as a straight up portrait, the background squiggly-ness and left side negative space could be erased- for the score to improve, perhaps. But the shot is good, and its your vision, thats what matters.
Thomas the train, ASDA strikes back I suppose :) My boy loves that shirt. Nice portrait, I like the single light lighting. Not sure if that's a problem and didn't try myself, but a piece of foam or cardboard around the flash could have helped reducing spillage of light on your backdrop.

Ok, now I know it's a softbox and a small gobo would have not helped, my bad :)
Very nice portrait of an adorable child. I wish you could have eliminated the shadowy background though, since it takes my eye away from his cute face.
Cute little boy, I really like the lighting on this, it's good that he has catchlights in both eyes. I'm not sure about the composition though; since you can see how wrinkled and sagging the backdrop is, I don't see the point in having the boy off to one side to show that off. A more centred, closer shot of him might have been a better idea with that backdrop, or maybe next time just make sure the material is pulled tightly at all corners to elimate creases as much as possible. A nice shot overall.
