I like the picture a lot. A couple of things to improve it: it looks kinda grey and washed out. A better tonal range (more black, more whites) would be good. Another thing too, they both look really serious. Not sure if that's what they want, but if it is, the picture is stunning.Love the intensity of his eyes looking into the camera, almost a statement of his dedication for the years to come...
Hope that helps. Nick.
