Hi sueq and welcome to the group. This is an exceptionally sharp candid shot of your son. It may look better in print form but on the monitor it tends to appear a bit flat as far as tonal range. Since you have some photo editing software, I would recommend eliminating the catchlight in the eyes at the 8 o'clock position. Portrait photographers may use many lights to illuminate their subject but ideally, there should be only one catchlight in each eye, typically at the 10 or 2 o'clock position. While you are working on the catchlights you may also want to see how it looks if the remaining catchlights are taken down in size just a bit. Again, welcome to the group. I'll be happy to help where I can.
