Very cute expression you captured and cute costume. The background is nice although I think this outfit calls for some sort of outdoor scene. Also, I agree that the light could be a little more evenly dispersed on the child eliminating some of the shadows on the side of the face. I like the treatment you chose. Overall, very cute photo. :-)

Hey Jason, yes I do like this one. I gave it a 6 and here's why (mainly technical stuff), I like photos with shallow DOF, but for some reason the background on this seems just a bit too blurred. I like his look, it's very inviting (even with the makeup) :-) I might off-center him just a bit more if you're going to go with a horizontal format and I agree with MrsFuzzButt about cropping it so more of his hair was visible, as I think that's kind of important part of his look. Also, if this was my shot, I might sharpen his pupils a bit because as it is, his eyebrows & beard seem more in focus and it kind of distracts just a little. But that's just a personal preference for me, I really dig super sharp eyes. Overall, I think it's a nice portrait, you brought out his personality well and it should have scored higher than it did. But Free studies are always tough competitions. :-)
