Sometimes images fail to impress on first view for any number of reasons - maybe it's the color, the subject or that the reviewer needs more caffines to stay awake. The simple elegance of this subject, rich in detail and properly framed is an excellant example of a candid moment. From a technical standpoint, it's nearly perfect with a vaguely detailed background complimenting the rich detail of the subject. From an artistic standpoint, the facial expession is directly opposed to the overall joyfull feel of the scene which is somewhat off putting but an honest view. Originally rated an 8, this is rerated to a 9. It should place well in the challenge and possibly a top ten.
