Ah, very nice improvement. Basically, you placed him in his shadow as he should be, darkening the shirt is the most noticeable. I am learning myself how extremely crucial it is to understand the separation of light and dark, to really study where the light is and where the shadow forms. It's so much fun, the more my eyes are trained to see lights and darks.
Your son was an adorable baby, I bet he is a cute kid and that you have several pieces you've painted of him over the years!
