Hi Mary - This is really very sweet! The soft browns have that soft feel of an old fashioned (sepia) photo. Just wondering if the pillow reads a little flat on the upper right?

Hi Mary,

Wonderful portrait, great pose/composition. I have a couple of suggestions, if you don't mind.

I believe adding some reddish tones to his hand will help to give it form, particularly in the knuckles. I realize a child's hand is generally smooth, but i think some definition here would add to the picture. Also, it appears there's a tangent line where the pant leg and middle finger meet. Perhaps you could "raise" the pant leg slightly to show all of his finger? Just a little nitpicking, I like everything else very much. I know his mom will love it.

Sincerely,
