I really like this shot. For one he had asked me to take his photo (feeling a bit left out I imagine). But right when I took it he looked away. For another I really like the boy in the background walking. I think it helps to place the main boy in his environment of a school yard.
These children in the photos are in need of many things. If you are interested in helping or would just like more info please leave a comment to that effect and I will get back to you or email me at nedens @ gmail.com (be sure to remove the space before and after the @). Children in the free school can be sponsored for $25 a month which gets them 1 good meal a day (for some the only meal they will eat), a uniform, and school supplies. So as you all take a look at this series please consider helping.
I really appreciate everyones comments. They are a great encouragement to me. Thank you!

This truly is an amazing portrait. I honestly feel that the boy in the back ground plays an important role in this photo. Awesome work. This has a powerful impact.

@Edward James: Thanks for the comment Edward. Glad to see my idea got across. :)
Gracias por tus comentarios Nick. Si en Cuba hubiese tenido mi camara actual serían mejores.
Tus fotos son fantásticas, tanto las de color como esta, un blanco y negro perfecto. Y una sonrisa (smile) tierna y fresca. Y es verdad que tienen una similitud con mis fotos. Esos paises son muy fotogénicosl.
