 Candid of my 11 y/o playing his DS while taking a break from walking around London over Easter weekend. I'm not thrilled with the device being part of the comp, and would rather it be a book, but think it works okay with the introspective look on his face. I took a series of these with him showing different emotions and I will likely create a triptych out of the best three. I went with this one for the challenge because of its strong technicals and a sense of telling a story, versus just a snapshot of a kid. I'm sure it will still get butchered and treated like a snapshot. :)

I kind of wish his face weren't eclipsed by the game.

Boy does this scene look familiar! He-he. Well done. The conversion works well on this and you covered the tonal range quite well.

the knee in the forground is distracting; but I love the tone of this picture and the thoughtful expression on his face
