my attention is drawn mainly to the backdrop.
If there is a message or reminder about global warming in this image, it might be somewhat obscure...

Nifty idea. The shadow on the flower's left side (behind the leftmost petal) kind of distracts.

This reminds me of my childhood just by looking at this photo. I was that boy every day. I came home looking like this on so many occasions that I can't count them all. The look on his face also resembles mine when I looked at my mother with no accepted explanation for why I looked this way :) This is also a very nicely executed black and white. I love the warmth of the tone you chose rather than just a simple cold black and white. That warmth works nicely with the theme of playing outdoors in the heat of the summer where this look could have originated on any given day :) Great photo...
