Hello!

I am trying to take a picture of my son for my next pastel portrait. I want to do more than just his face - as I normally do, so I tried to put more of his body in the photo. This way he was comfortable (and not statue-like) was in the following position. I think the hands may take away from his face - since they're in front of him and at the same level.

I need some advice on taking a natural looking photo.

Thank you,
Dianna
