I think I would have liked to see a better connection between them both, the expression of the Father to the Son, the composition that includes the dark pole is rather a distraction, the editing is very good considering the harsh lighting.

Beautiful picture; the pole gives it spacial reference and the tonality looks like the best wet processing. Be proud.

One criticism? Get rid of that tiny white spot on the child's lip - it distracts me.

I'd like it better if the kid's face wasn't entirely in shadow.

But it's not; and that's exactly why the tonality looks so great: you get depth and range of visual/emotional response.

And that white spot still bugs me.
