Default I want to be like daddy...

Here is a photo I took of my little man for my husbands first fathers day. It was basiclly a lucky shot. I have tried for DAYS to get another, but he just tries to pull the hat off or go for the camera, lol. Can I get CC on the lighting, composition? And anything else you would like to CC on.
Thank you!

What an adorable picture!! I think that his face looks overexposed a bit...and the overal background is really bright to me. But I really love the look on his face & the hat. I think Dad will love it!

What a great shot! The focus looks good but I have to agree the whole image seems a bit bright to me. From your settings it looks as if your aperture setting would have been the easiest to adjust if you were holding the camera and not on a tripod. What was the light source you were using?

I think this is a super cute shot. The most distracting part to me is that fact that is looks like his hands/feet are chopped. I know it's probably just a fold/wrinkle in the backdrop doing it but with the background so white you can't tell what is causing it. Did you shoot RAW? If so, you could probably make the backdrop not so bright.
Hope that helps
