Very moody!

Thanks Darren. He's a great kid. A fraternal twin. He's the reserved one. His brother is different. Great kid also,...but less reserved.

What a wonderful shot Brian. Superbly framed and just the right amount of obscurity. The salt and pepper pots add to the whole too I think. Was it spontaneous or set-up in some way? It reminds me a of a photo of a girl on a train (maybe a bus) taken by a photographer touring through Russia. Can't recall his name at the moment but I have a link somewhere - I'll did it out.

Thank you very much, Pete. It was a spontaneous shot. I liked the salt and pepper shakers, too. I only wish his brother had been in the shot because whereas Jules has that blonde 'do, his brother Rony has a black one. Nevertheless, it is what it is. Thanks again, Pete.

I'm not sure Brian. The light hair is somehow more ethereal - I'm not sure it would have worked so well with dark hair.

In retrospect I think you're right, Pete. Thanks again.

I like it because of it's ambiguity, from his frame and complexion he looks like a boy but in other ways he looks like a young man with boyish looks.

I keep coming back to this one. I love it, but it makes me feel uncomfortable too. He has angelic features and yet that calm, but direct stare is rather unnerving...

Brian,
I should have said that is what makes this image out of the ordinary for me. If the look had been any different, then I'm not sure I would have loved it so much

I know what you mean. Had he smiled it would have been a very different photo. Thanks again.
