Bill from Belton, United States
A great candid of the young man! I think he is maybe 6 or 7 years old. He seems wise for his age in any event. Have you ever seen him smile? You find very interesting people to photograph Matt.

@Bill: thanks Bill. he is 3 would you believe! smile? no I haven't. I try to just photograph what I see Bill. most portraits are just during my daily life. its a passion

grant from kansas city, United States
great expression - i think it really captures the relationship of a child of that age to the world of home - the tension between curiosity and apprehension.

Jean-Michel from Uccle / BRUXELLES, Belgium
Hi Matt,
What do you expect me to say over such a perfect picture ?
Unless.... You could be a little lower... My opinion ;-) That little "monkey" looks so little, a perspective from the bottom could be interresting ;-)
At the end : Bravo !
Cheers
