Oh this is so cute! I love that little face. Makes me miss how tiny mine used to be. I'm also now fascinated by the woman's foot in a brace. I guess I'm easily amused :)
If the idea is to delay the moment the viewer will find the child and therefore the actual point of interest in the photograph, I like it. However, I find this works particularly well when the photograph has some kind of obvious, apparent subject, so that the viewer can relax, just to then suddendly realize that there is another less obvious point of interest and possibly the real subject of the image.
So, perhaps another angle showing maybe more of the faces of the crowd, or the event they are watching if there is an event, and then somewhere the peering face of the child, would have worked better for me.
a perceptive comment but that's not Brian's thing, and I like Brian's thing.
haunting, that little face, the drape of his hood exaggerating his chubby cheek, he is keeping his eye on things not matter what. an oddly reassuring photo.
