VERY cute photo.
Only suggestion off an initial look is if photoshop or other could clean up the reflections in the eyes.

I think if you could tone down the exposure on the boys face a tad bit, it would look a lot better. Also, reflection in the eyes is a good thing!

agreed with fais, the catchlights in the eyes are great.
I really find there to be little wrong with this image (despite being of a baby.. me no like baby images! ) Yeah, maybe tone down the exposure just a biiit, but not much.

I like the square composition.
I like the vivid colors.

All in all, a very fun good image.

Default Thanks, friends

Thanks very much for your input.

Here is the EXIF info:

Nikon D70
f/2
1/320th sec.
ISO 400

How would I change the facial exposure while shooting, rather than in PS?
