I used to look like this... but then I discovered soap!

I guess your title about says it all.
Love the shallow dof and crip focus. Portrait isn't always about softness and this is certainly a great example of appropriate sharpness.
Voted.

WOW! Thanks for all the great comments!
As for EXIF, I shot this on manual at 1/100 sec, f6.3, ISO 100 with a Canon 20D and Canon EF 50mm f1.4 lens. I used a Sigma Super DG 500 flash with a Lumiquest softbox, off camera (via sync cord) and hand held the flast about 18" to the left of the camera. As for Jonah, he cooperates pretty well for photos, and his eyes are always amazing! I didn't notice the snot until after I uploaded the photo and was working on the post processing.
After I took some pictures, I hosed all three of my boys down in the backyard. Josh, my oldest, got really mad about that and said it is illegal to do that to kids in this country. I gave him a couple of alternatives, which were 1) sleeping outside or 2) move to Canada... He eventually opted for the hose down and a bath...

Great shot. He'd probably walk around like this for hours, too. I have three of those--they don't change much.
