Absolutely beautiful! Perfect light/perfect texture and perfect composition!
Beside that, I really like the fact that the child doesn't have a smile on its face; much more impact like this!
Congratulations on this masterpiece!

One of the best, maybe the best, picture of a child I have ever seen. IMHO perfect light, fascinating. Congratulations
