Photographer’s Note
We stopped in a small dhaba on the way to have breakfast. While I was sitting outside appreciating the warm morning rays of the sun I noticed inside this little resolute boy sampling his bottle of Mirinda.
As fast as I can I handled my camera and even if light was a bit low, I succeed in catching his satisfied expression.

I agree that his expression is absulotely great! Photographically the picture is interesting sa well: The assymetrical composition works well. The contrast between the moving bottle and the still face is great. The DOF is good and the patterned shirt provides a fine contrast to the mono-colored background. Good job!
Cheers,
Mikkel

Hi Luca.
Powerful !
Magnifique cette photo. Incroyable les yeux de ce gamin ! J'aime beaucoup ton cadrage avec ce pov et ce visage en 3/4. Le mouvement au niveau de la bouteille est du plus bel effet !
Très forte cette prise.

Hi Luca,
Great image, well composed and superb colour. I find the hand under the boys chin a little distracting but as your note describes it was not avoidable.
Great portrait!
