A very interesting costume and facial expression.

This shot is so clear and crisp at the bottom of the costume, but up by his eyes, it begins to look soft. It's almost always best to focus on the eyes.

+1 @ focus ... looks like the camera may have caught his hands or tassles/fringe (center point AF ), which are in a more forward plane than his eyes.

It's not so much that it can't be overcome with some PP @ selective sharpening push/pull selective blur to re-establish the focal plane somewhat.

As an image overall ... it is a bit stirring emotively @ somber expression and holding the symbolic weaponry, backdropped by the "men" that he someday aspires to become. The regality of the carpeting is also salient to the piece, imo.

Reworked a bit for illustration, which includes a slight crop. I might consider cloning out the "pole" on the left side background as well. The technical PP is easy enough, you did the important part @ capturing the essence of the image ... which comes across very clearly to me.

Will remove rework if preferred it not be presented.

Agreed with above. I like the costume and the kid, but focus is a little soft. I actually cleaned my glasses to make sure it wasn't me (or my glasses)...
