Thank you everyone for the wonderful feed back. I think of this site as portrait university, but P.U. doesn't sound so good. I took more photos of my son yesterday and am happier with the results, however, after reading all the great advice I think I will photograph him again in front of a different window, posing in another direction and use the spot meter. Luckily he is very easy going. Painting your own children is an interesting challenge. The mother in me is looking for those expressions of their personalities that I cherish and makes me overlook artistic flaws in the reference material. I suppose I am my own worst client. Thanks for the compliment, Jimmy, I do have "great looking" kids.
