 Caught unawares; preoccupied at Christmas.

Am hoping that folks realise that this is totally candid and don't assume it was posed. It may look look that was, but Jamie was in a world of his own and I can guarantee that he didn't 'see' the camera! I guess you'll have to trust me.....

Would probably have been improved by cropping tighter to get rid of the brighter white line at the left, and if it was shot in RAW trying to rein in the highlights a bit.

I often wonder why people shoot portraits with hands on chins, until I realized one day people do sit that way from time to time.

He's watching the camera with his peripheral vision. Okay, but a little "not candid enough".
