Cousins they are...

For an outdoor photo I think this is not too bad. I like the admiring glance and the lighting is not terrible.

I do, however, wish I had not cropped it so tightly. To me it has the sort of unfulfilling look you get when you go in too close. I think it works well for a photo but not best for a portrait. But I did it, and there will be no going back. The boy is now a junior at the Univ. of Texas.

Anyone have any thoughts on regaining some fulfillment of composition, or other matters.
