It's all about the eyes.

Too bad that many adults (including actors) lose the natural charm that seems to come so easily to children. Even when they're shy, it just seems to sit a little differently on kids.

ahh youth,

Re: Little Hudson Grabs

Both shots are nice, but I'd use them for different purposes depending on a given scene and/or story point it's intended for. One is more moody and foreboding (right) and the other is more inviting (left).

I think I have to disagree with the general feeling on the one on the right. I happen to like that we don't see every little detail (especially since this is video). It brings focus to your sons eye and makes me want to look right at it. I for one happen to like it when silhouette is used to lessen attention to a form. In that way, our eye moves to areas of detail on that form and pays less attention to the silhouetted portions but we still register it as the form it is.
 
Re: Little Hudson Grabs

I personally like the second one better. There's less detail in the shadows and the value drops off closer to film. The contrast makes the shot more interesting for video...
