This is an utterly enchanting portrait. Great angle, good lighting and a you've captured a sad expression in his eyes. Is it possible to tone down the brightness of the collar?

Thank you for your generous and kind review. I had already a hard time with this blinding white. I burned it. It is down already. On the other hand this white of whites [I don't know how the got the glowing effect] is part of the traditional close he is wearing for his baptism. I' wouldn't turn it to much down.

How could you not love this beautiful photo. it is soft full of love. You have captured that beautiful dreamy look on his face. A beautiful child captured so well. I love the way the photo is cropped to use the softness and dreamy look on the face.

Its very expressive photograph, good to see a portrait from you cleo :) Nice angle and the pose, and the way he is lost, does looks as if he is waiting anxiously. Nice composition with good depth of field, a little over bluring but its ok. All the best for the contest.

This is fabulous. I love the way you blurred the edges and softened the light...is all helps focus the eye on this beautiful child who has a great glance and expression. Very interesting.
