Dave,

As several people said, the strength of this shot (as is of most portraits) is to shoot from (or below) the eye level.

I noticed one thing:
It might be an artifact of the downsizing/JPEG, but it looks like the focus is just a bit in front of the face (see the front of the jacket).

Also, sorry for being pedantic, - you wrote his name as "Brooks", but the caption says "Brooke". I suspect you may have made a typo in one of the places, probably in the e-mail (being used to type your own last name..).

Cheers,

Igor

Yep, excellent job of getting down to capture a wonderful moment. I.m sometimes
too lazy to go to the ground, but it's key with kid photography.

Taken at eye level with the kid filling the frame.
Good work Dave!
