Glad that you "broke the rules" with this one and showed us his back and not his face. It adds a nice touch of curiosity to this photo, Steve. Very nice light and colors, too. Well done.

Totally brilliant, is this a random shot or is he a little model?

Hi Steve - that longing look --- just faint hope that he'll come back for me some day .. a suitcase and a brown box .. what's in the box? .. family photos - oh so many interpretations ...

Steve great shot here, you have left the imagination wide open with this one. What is he doing?, where is he going?, what is in the box?, who left him there?, why the suitcase? the possibilities are endless. And that is why this is such a great shot.
