This is my 13 year old son who hates being photographed. His slight pout is nothing compared to his normal photo pouts...both my boys have big pouty lips. I am sure the girls will love that one day..lol!!
For the ones who claimed there were blown out areas in this image, they should check their monitor calibration....as there are no blown out areas except maybe part of the eye. But thankyou anyway to the people that liked this image.

I like the lighting and pose. Perhaps I find the crop a bit too large, in that so much of the image is taken by the black background, but I guess it's very subjective and the effect might be deliberate.
Really lovely portrait, I think you have the lighting done quite well, the only critique I would give you is that the highlights are a bit blown. I might have taken them down just a bit in editing. Love the pose and expression.
