My son Charlie. He is going to be 13 in less than 2 weeks and has been acting every bit the teenager...and every bit the great kid.

He gave me this 'Hey Dad, cut it out' look and I figured it was worth a capture....

Minimal editing - cropped, a bit of noise ninja, and slight adjustment of exposure.

Composition: If this weren't a candid portrait, I would give you hell over the far eye being almost lost. LOL! But, since it is a candid, I say you caught that teenager expression just right :)

Lighting/Exposure: Your light is beautiful. I am guessing a window in front of him? :)

Pose: N/A

Suggestions for Improvements: Removal of the lights in the BG is really the only thing I can see here.

Candid portraits really are harder than studio posed portraits because you can rarely control the environment. You are a brave soul :)

Great shot! Those bits and pieces in the background are a tad distracting for me, too. Clone?

Nice shot - I have the same camera setup. The light on the right is distracting, can you burn it a bit?

hahah, ah the teenager years, what fun. he does look a bit like, "do this again, and i'lll go beserk." sort of look, but it makes for a good photo. composition is very well done, and the light oof adds to the homely sense of the photo. good job.
