This shot would have been much more effective with a greater depth of feld OR with the focus on background rather than somewhere in the middle

The picture is too small, has noise and the spider is not in focus.

It would have helped if the glare in the plate was not there and atleast to me the grass is in sharper focus

Thank you everyone for the most encouraging comments. I guess the topic police did get me ;)

For anyone who is interested this portrait of my son who is 5 and a half was done using lights from 2 reading lamps fitted with ordinary tungsten bulbs. Since I did not have a proper black backdrop I seated him in front of an open door of a darkend room. To cut reflection from the left side a clothes rack with a dark bedsheet was kept on the left. Finally to get the jaw line on the dark side the white door at th back was angled just enough
