Hi Vera,
Yes, this is already a bit better. I think however that the track underneath are a bit distracting from the little guys smile. That's why I cropped it even tighter. Also consider making the hallway a bit darker to make him stand out more.

P.S. What do you think of this version?

Hi Roderik, Thanks very much for your comments. I'm always grateful to get useful hints and tips. I like your cropping etc. of the photo and will try the same on some of my other photos.
Regards, Vera

Hi Vera,
Wow, this image really works for me. The moment you captured is really great. I really like how so many of the elements in this picture point at the main subject.
You could think of a few ways to make the image more dramatic though. I think first of all a crop to focus more on the main subject would be nice. Also by cropping you can remove the subject from its very central position and put him in a more dramatic composition by putting him on a third of the image.
Then you could also make the hallway behind him a bit darker to make him pop out more.
I have attached an image to show you what I mean. I simply cropped, adjusted the levels and tweaked a bit the curves dialogues. After that I desaturated a bit. Of course you have the original so you can do that much better. It is just to give you an impression, hopefully well received :-).
