Okay, apart from the huge big watermark splashed across the boy's face... (which, by the way is to protect the photo on my client's behalf - she already has everything she wants from the photo shoot).
Have you ever noticed that even animals will seek out your eyes when looking at you? They have a natural instinct to look into another being's eyes; the same as we do.
When it comes to portrait photos, it's critical to have at least one eye in focus. Just as it confuses the viewer when you don't give the photo a clear subject (click HERE for our discussion on that topic), if both of the subject's eyes are blurry, the photo becomes frustrating for the viewer.
In the photo above, the boy's right eye is out of focus due to the narrow Depth of Field (we'll talk about that in a future post), but his left eye is sharp, giving the viewer a clear focal point. And it doesn't matter whether your subject is a little boy or a squirrel - if you're photographing the face, the eyes are all-important.
