I'd turn him 45 degrees to the left, move him over three feet and put the tree on his right, but that's my personal boring left-to-right preference. Otherwise, yes, I think a joke would help! great looking kid though!

Tighten up that tie!!

And I'll agree that he needs to be angled to the camera, not straight on :)

darken the background and light up the subject. try shooting at a faster shutter speed.
