I love the "head-to-head comparison and the somewhat similar expression on the two faces. The pic may be stronger by loosing about 1/4 or so of the image off the bottom, allowing the viewer to concentrate more on the faces and heads. I just moved the image up and down in the browser window to see how it would look in that way. To my eye cropping a little above the yellow tip of the child's color above his head and a little below the zipper on the dad's sweater yields the strongest image. It almost looks like a square crop, and you;ve got the added impact of the diagonal running from the child through the father.
