I like the expression on the little guy. If only mom had given you a slight head turn. I would be tempted to crop a little tighter, as the background does not add much.

I agree both faces would maximize this great warm lighting. Was a lower shooting perspective available?

Jerry and Lon,

Thanks, I Have one with both faces pointing at the camera, but liked the expression on the youngsters face. If I had got down from the vehicle it is highly likely that they would have run away.
