This is from a recent family shoot I done ( a family friend )

I haven't actually given them this one as it didn't fit the set however I very much like it

It's a fine portrait but, umm... why have you done that to the colours? It's a fine portrait (really) of someone with glowing pink ears in a rather sickly looking garden.

Will have to check the shoot as it should be all black and white.As for the background why is it sickly? I know it's not framed properly it was a grab shot as I was packing away

It's definitely not black and white, the ears are pink and the garden is green/grey (hence the sickly comment, I assume). It's well focused and composed in my opinion, but it looks distorted, was it shot on a 35 or wider?

I'm away from home so just killed the saturation via flikr, so apologies I must of uploaded the incorrect file, and yeah 32mm which is made it look a bit distorted (which I like) thanks for the comments

I like the distortion too, in this case.

I like it, but not sure why - If it's a straight portrait, it's terrible due to the distortion caused (probably) by a wide angle lens at too close a distance.

If you were trying to get a caricature style image, you've nailed it (except maybe for the dodgy mono conversion!).
