First.....what strikes me in the negative. I'm pretty sure it's a hangup of mine, but with people, I hate face/head cropping, that's just subjective. Another thing, one that I do, is have a tendency to have blown out highlights......it's ever so slight in this.

What I do like.....this is a powerful, gripping emotive expression on this youngster's face making me wonder what the trouble or disenchantment may be. A very good capture and the detail is terrific.

I like the soulful look in the eyes.

EDIT: I keep looking at these after I comment and I see more. I particularly like the negative space behind the child.

I like the innocence of this. From a photography perspective, the light is nice and even and focus is very good. The composition/crop feels a bit off-balanced to me - between the composition and the angle the picture is taken at, the focus of the shot seems to be the nose and I'd prefer it to be the eyes. Hopefully this makes sense.
