strong portrait of a strong child

I do not normally take portrait photos and its not my best field, but this picture is really touching to me. It's taken in the slum of Kenya.
What do you guys think about the edit? I tried to get more dramatic colors and get the true emotion out of the picture.
As said this is not my best field, so any feedback is appreciated!

i think such pics dont have to be technically perfect as long as they have a strong impact on the viewer. This one has it. Editing is very good. its got a gloomy mood to it which is what is meant. u didnt over edit it also. even with the eyes closed, it shows how the bugs are annoying him

Paige's booth portrait

Recently, I taught an Off Camera Flash class. Paige was my model for the class. We were outdoors but it started to rain. Luckily, a nearby restaurant let us conduct the class in their dining room.
