Question Blue-eyed dreamer

This is a photo of my son..I love this photo..but I start to wonder if I am breaking a rule by cutting off some of his face..or does it work in this case?..The reason I cropped so tightly was because he was wearing an orange hoodie that seemed to throw the colors off for me..I am so new to everything..so, any and all c&cs welcome and much appreciated!...I am really loving this site..so many great people with great ideas! Thanks all!

Default cropping

Hi, beautiful baby! love those blue eyes and the blue sky... I think because of the way you cropped it, the first thing that came to my mind was that it looked like the branches were growing out of his head...lol...i'm sorry! I would like to see the full image, sometimes orange and blue work great together...hard to say with out seeing it.

For the life of me..I cannot find the exact original..found one from the set so you could get a feel for the orange and blue together..I really hate that I lost the original..but I didn't realize I did until now.. : / The other image was very close to this one as far as position and comp..he is just looking the other way..Also, no editing done on this one...Oh, and thank you, He gets everything he wants because of those blue eyes..lol
Thanks for the comment!
