This is a picture I took of my son today. I thought it turned out alright. 
Thanks for looking!

Big Mike said:For me, it's not that the tree is distracting...it's the bright background behind the tree. Our eyes are naturally drawn to the brightest spots...in this case, those bright spots are distracting attention away from your son.
Maybe a closer crop. Maybe darken the highlights a bit.
Overall, it's still a great image...full of innocence.
