Default Waterboy

Hi all,

new to the forum. Here's my first post and would appreciate little bit of c & c from you.
Taken with 5DII and Sigma 24 - 70 mm / 2.8. As you can see I did little bit of PP in lightroom and PS. Its a picture of my 6 month old boy having fun in his bathtub...

I really like this. My only nit pick is to possibly have a touch more DoF to give more detail on the face.
Other than that, this is a great photo. Fantastic expression and wonderful comp. Well done.

Is the focus on his forehead? I actually like the softness of it, it makes it seem more innocent. Just seems a bit OOF

Its the DOF as mentioned that could possibly have been more.

Thanks for your comments all. I tried to get the focus on his eyes, but it seems I might have focused on his forehead and the rim of his bathtub. I agree that the DoF could have been little bit more...
