Outwardly, the photo didn't seem to do much for me. However, the more I look at it, the more interesting it becomes. Perhaps it’s the contrast between proper and malicious.
BTW: I really do regret selling my Leica M8 w/primes.
I thank you for your comments, it's nice to know that you are not alone on judging the emotional charge in a picture. It's a highly subjective thing sometimes.
This is truly great! The look of anticipation on his face makes me look at the picture and hoping to see the outcome. Like my wife says to me, If the picture keeps me looking its a great picture.
