I think this is nice but I think you could boost the contrast a little.

This is almost a nice portrait, but there are two things ruining it for me. First is the expression, it's forced, looks like he's thinking, "can I go yet?". Second is the background, those blurry lines are really eye catching, and not in a good way.

Nice portrait of a special looking kid. All kids are special and they need to be captured more and more for they just grow up to quickly. i need to take some of mine looking like this. Body language just a bit tense for me

Nice light, good portrait, I might have cropped more and got closer to the face.

Nice mellow portrait. IMO could use a bit more pop.

for me this is just a bit to "posed" his position doesn't look natural or comfortable

Shame it's horrendously out of focus and you camera appears to be broken as it can't do colour ;-) Good to see you online :-)
