Looking for some opinions on a photo of my son. Composition, pp, overall appeal of the photo as a window into the world of a three year old.

It's ok... But a lower angle and it could have been great.

Agree with lower angle comment. Blacks are too black IMO.

The light is pretty harsh. A color shot might make it seem less so, plus bring out the red in that super cape. I'm assuming it's red. I think you could crop this a little closer. Also, I reiterate the cardinal rule of getting down to the level of your subject. It improves an image 1000%.

great idea and subject matter but definitely a lower angle closer shot with a higher S.s. and more depth of field. There are so many other ways I can think to frame this. Aside the camera quality this is a point-shoot. Plan the shot out more and you will be happy with the result!
