Photographer’s Note

This is a beautiful portrait. I especially like the lighting. The wooden structure serves as a nice backdrop for the boy. Maybe you could have used a fill flash to illuminate the boy's face a bit more. Nice job, and welcome to TE.

Excellent photo. At the boy such serious person as at the adult and, at the same time, becomes amusing, when see, that this serious the man still such small, that legs do not reach the ground:) the Good shot. Welcome to TE

Very cool shot! I really like how the light is falling on the boy's face in a kind of arc. The way he's looking away from you works well here. Good work!
