I like this shot, but I think that the crop is a bit tight.

If I had any other comment it would be that he hair light is a bit bright since he has such fine blonde hair.

Cute kid though.

the background is also very distracting.

Thanks to you both for the great comments so far. There was nothing that I could do about the background as this portrait was more of a candid than a set up shot. My son was playing with my chess set and had some great expresssions.......wanted to capture a few of them.

I agree that the crop is a bit tight as well - thanks!
