				The eyes are key in this shot and make it a great photo, I have seen you use better PP then this, but overal a shot a mother would love.

 no.. not with the 50mm .. was at 35mm on a cheap and nasty lens.
yeh.. eyes could be a lot sharper, but unfortunately due to the original being a bit ordinary i can't push the sharpness too much more.
cheers

If you were going to print this, I wouldn't want it any sharper.  
Cool shot, cool kid.  I like the B&W treatment.  The eyes are wonderfully engaging.  If I were to do any further PP on this I would only try a slight curves tweak, but that would be it.
