one thing that really strikes me about this photo is the way that the background colours match his face so well...with the blues over on the one side and the yellows/oranges dominating the other..and even the green at the around his eyes goes with the green of his hat! to me this image is just really beautiful in so many ways.....and look at those eyes! so much expression in them! a top capture to say the least!

Okay, good to know how you rank this image. And seriously, I don't think it's bad. It's just not my cup of tea, so to speak...:)

It is a rich picture that really makes you think.. the color reflections on the tuba surface makes the tuba a part of the boy.. also the shiny metalic make up on the boy's nose and eyebrow, again makes a relation between the boy and the tuba.. and i think the eyes are the only doors in the picture to "see" inside of the boy.. all the shiny and colorful things are the %95 of the whole picture, but two small eyes can show the reality despite the power of the colors.. and it makes me feel that the eyes are stucked there till the end of the carnival.. it's also very dramatic that he knows he is being photographed, but he is not able to smile or show any reaction .. not with mimics, because his face muscles are already working..not with his mouth or lips either.. only the eyes are left, and can't ever lie, like we see.. he must go on, whatever he feels, and this is what sometimes we all have to face with.. so much to think about the picture, thanks.

You have to excuse me for being a new member and all, but what are you trying to say with this image, except that it's colourful and close up?
