My first impression is that this is not appealing at all. Not pleasant to look at, and makes me wrinkle up my face with discust.
However, technically, this shot is great.
The focus and clarity are unfortunately perfect. Great detail in everything. The kids eyes are stunning.
The closeness is great. And actually, I Tried this with a crop right above his upper lip, and I think that works even more. His eyes are really powerful, and you could use that to your advantage here. I'd like to see this with just the eyes and nose. And snot of course, or it wouldn't meet the challenge. lol
I think that the lighting is just fine. Not to bright, not too dark. If I HAD to make a suggestion, I'd suggest trying a little more lighting, but totally not absolutely needed.
Overall technically well done, just not something I'd like to look at for a long time.
