Hey, CONGRATULATIONS! You will remember this moment forever. I think the picture and the way you processed it is great. Your son is absolutely glowing! THAT's what makes the photo! Not the technicals! :)

In spite of all your drawbacks, this is a wonderfully charming image. The light is a little harsh on your son which is something you couldn't overcome without special filters, etc. But, the detail in the background is splendid, the people in the back come through beautifully and that is even harder to achieve. I think you did an excellent job capturing the emotion of this very special moment.

You know, the processing has its appeal just the same - if you step back from the shot as purely representational (of people, of gesture), it starts to have an interesting crazy quilt-abstract look.

As you said, a great keepsake - you've caught his pride perfectly.

Love it. Your son's face is all expression and joy, and everything else is defined. Utterly wonderful what pp can elicit.

interesting and individual style. (my eyes tend to jump around the picture. Maybe cropping some off the left hand side would direct the viewers eyes back toward the path. Just a thought.) good luck

Wow... this image is crazy. It's like... watching someone get electrocuted. Good job... but I probably wouldn't want it in my calendar...
