What a lovely portrait. Extremely well balanced with lovely colors

I have looked at:
Initial impact
Story telling ability
Light and shade
Color
Texture
Technique
Composition
Focal point
Framing
Originality
All worth 5 stars.

Comment from Keith Williams
this is very good Willie. great sharpness and subtle use of sahllow depth of field

nice clear skin tones and you've captured the colour.

I find if you tell the sitter to focus at a point about 4 inches higher than the camera it will open their eyes a little wider. Try and see how you get one.

great expression on the child by the way.
