Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hi and welcome to DPC! Your first challenge and you did pretty darn good! This is an adorable shot of your son, he's got that look in his eyes that just exudes mischief, LOL!

This is a wonderful candid shot of a child and overall it's very well done. The crop seems just off to me for some reason. I can barely make out his ear on the left and the curtains on the right are fighting for my attention. Tightening in on either side really makes a difference in this shot (I put paper up to the screen to get an idea). And maybe just a little looser on the top and bottom of the shot so you can see a bit more of his hand. The duo tone is a good choice for this shot though I wonder what b/w would look like also.

A fine placement in your first challenge and I hope this helps some. If you do any of the suggestions I put forth I would love to see the new shot.

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

Beautiful portrait! Very cute. Just think a little too dark on the kids right side.
