My son...

Another take:

Nicely done!

First one seems a little too close for me.

I like the closeness of the first one. #2 I wish he was looking at the camera.

You both look very much alike

I like the 2nd one..

Really like the conversion in #1, and the framing too.

very nice.. can't decide between 1 or 2 both are nice

Love his hair : ) He looks just like you.
Great shots!

Really like these. On the first, was it just an octabox camera left? Anything else?

Q

I fiddled with using another light, but I only had the one modifier and so..stuck with it. It's a Westcott Orb with two speedlites inside.

Thanks for the nods everyone.

stunning sharpness. It works well for his skin

Obviously the apple fell very far from the tree. Lucky kid got his mom's looks.

That's exactly right. They are two peas in a pod.
