Just another Taliver shot, this was the only half decent one I got (and its only half decent!) but I just wanted to show what you can do with a white blanket, a window and a trusty ol' 580ex bounced off the roof.
Whaddaya think?

I think you should use a coloured blanket /sheet for background as it looks a bit bright.
And your little boy looks like he has two black eyes (more steak)
I don't know how to lighten that though, only dodge a little.
Thats how I see it. Others may see it different.

This is with paint bucket, but a sheet behind him will leave all bits of hair etc intact.

I think he looks great... only criticism would be the little bit of food that's around his mouth, and also a slight tinge of blurriness in the jumper... but other than that, I like the white background.

the original background actually had more texture in it, I just blew it out to see how it looked

jules, thanks, I noticed the bit of food just after I uploaded it- it also bother's me that I can't see his hands.

The bags under his eyes could do with a little patch just to take away that black eye look - but a lovely shot. Hands would have been nice - but the shot still works.

I think it is a fine shot. Just the lighting isn't quite even from the window light on the one side.

Nice soft lighting and background, there isn't much of a focal point though. It should probably be focused on his face, but even that is a bit blurry. (Along with his shirt.)
