I would get rid of the entire left half of this photo. - 6

lovely idea, but it gives too much of a "shapshot" look rather than a "portrait" look.

You leave a lot of space next to the portrait, and that can be very good if.. if that part tells me something more, if it adds to the person. Here i see he is on a open area, but how does it relate to him? If i saw some wooden play things around, i could make the assumption that he is laughing because he is playing, but now i know nothing more. So to me it is lost space, which could be used for the person itself.
The light falls hard on the hair. Does he have white-isch hair? That would explain the slightly overexposed part.
I do feel as if you captured a bit of innocence in this shot, but it looses some of its impact because of the non-helping background. vote:5
