(Of course when looking at a face we subconsciously can't resist staring at the eyes to attempt eye contact.) I would say that the depth of field/focus is too narrow, though, because both eyes aren't in focus. In the first picture, Jack's left eye is in the rule of third point, but is out of focus. Anyway, those are my two cents! I like your blog as well. Thanks for writing and sharing! I like the pictures — beautiful subject.

But I like the second because it is dreamier and Jack is looking into the dark, he is more confident. The cropping has more impact The first one is clearer and has this tender beseeching expression and the tiny ear in the corner is cute.
