Sweet and natural expression. Love the background! I wish there were a little more space around him tho. Lighting is a little to even for my taste but it is nice and natural. If it were mine, I'd vignette the edges a little to darken the background and keep the focus on the little boy and not wandering to the background (as cool as it is). I photograph a lot of children and this is the kind of expression that is priceless. I'm sure the parents just adore this portrait!

Thanks for the comment, Louise. I try to keep the lighting as even as possible to give the kids room to move around (and they do -- a lot). It also helps when shooting digitally to have even lighting. It doesn't handle small lighting ratios as well as film.

The vignetting idea is good. I usually just color correct and remove blemishes on portraits like this. Not a whole lot of PS work.

The parents did love this photo, they just didn't see the finger until I pointed it out. Then they laughed for a good five minutes.
