cute picture of a really cute kid.
from the thumbnail, i immediately thought this would be a much more interesting portrait with the kid off-centered...but i like it as is once i blew it up.
nice subdued colours...and cute expression on the kid.
thx for posting.

Beautiful catch!
Talented composition with the boat's nose and the rowing post to frame the boy. I think you had less than a second to balance all elements, and you did it successfully.
Thanks for giving us a lovely moment.
Regards,
Thanh

Very nice, K L, a very ordinary activity in a very special context! The fact he's on a handmade wooden boat, and squatting rather than sitting, makes clear we are seeing part of a traditional culture. The amount of DOF to maintain context, but put the attention on the boy, is just right. Well done, regards, Ken.

I guessed this was Tonle Sap as soon as I saw the thumbnail, Che. So many good photo ops on the lake, and you have captured one well here. DOF is good, but I would have preferred to see this composed with the boy a little off-centre. Cheers . . . David
