Cool! I didn't expect this to do as well as it did. I shot it using morning light from the window and a flourescent lightbox I happen to have. He was actually sleeping. (I woke him to ask if I could take a pic then he fell back asleep).

Like: Great lighting and shadows, Dof is good, composition good.
Dislike: cant really find anything to nit pick. Skin tone looks too processed possibly.
Nice shot overall. 7
