I like the composition and the contrast - good desaturation too and the look on his face is certainly a little pensive, if not downright sad.

I have a similar expression on my son's face (Sad Harry in the General Discussion > Before & After thread) and find it equally encapsulating.

Tom

I agree 100% with Tom's assessment. The only thing that I might have tried is turning the camera to the vertical and catching a shot that way also to have his entire body in. I usually will shoot a subject both ways.

I like it. Something you'd want to print big, or put in an art magazine.
