Simple simple composition. You left no way for the viewer to miss the "complementary colors" theme here. Nice focus and nice tight crop. Good job.

::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Actually, a good attempt at the high-key look you were after. A bit of dodging on the right side of the bg, would have given it that white isolated look.

Composition:
I think I would have like it more if he were in the right side of the frame or if it weren't cropped as tightly.

Subject:
Clear and isolated from the background well

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color: well managed and natural.
Focus: sharp, although I think DoF is a bit shallow.
Light: I really like it. The light, considering what you are working with, is quite well managed.

To grow its vote?:
Perhaps a stronger composition and maybe something a bit more dramatic.

Summary:
Quite a lovely portrait of your son. Definitely a keeper (the photo and your son) :-) Keep up the good work.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

A good idea! Nice vivid colors. One has to imagine the swinger that would be wearing this combination. :-)
