~stunning...have you spied Mary Ellen Mark's images when she went to the Great Famous Circus in Calcutta, India, or her essays on twins??? Have you taken any time to read/flip through "Revelations"?...when I view your image above I instantly am reminded of both of them, their work...a fine portrait here, deeply moving and so well executed IMO~

....I've favorited and tagged this one BRAVO and hope you will post it to:

original_ann says:

Wow. There is a story to be told... he looks wise beyond his young years... he seems to acknowledge that playing the guitar is a responsibility -- not just child's play....
Your lighting makes the image absolutely poignant and his grip on the guitar neck grips ME.
