 While I was out at a local festival photographing some Okinawian Eisa dancer and drummers I happend across this young spectator with his drum. I'm not sure of his age but I would have to guess less than 5 and he did not miss a single beat or movement of the grown up drummers. He was amazing.

post challenge notes: Sorry about the over saturation everyone, I forgot editing on a laptop causes problems. Here is what I really wanted the image to be like but basic editing doesn't allow it...I've learned that the hard way lol.

Well done. I love the confident expression and the way his arm wraps around the drum.

Saturation is bumped up too much, and loses some of the texture in the drum, head scarf, etc.
