Thanks Michael. I am sure you are right. I wished I could have gotten closer, but I only had a moment or two. The boy (about 12, I would say) got off the rock right after I took the shot. I don't think he was aware of my presence. What struck me as an opportunity to get a sense of drama was the large tree with its yellow leaves contrasting with the red shirt

This is fun, Charlie. Napping on the boulders gives me a chuckle (been there, done that :-). I do feel like the image could use a bit of drama, but I'm not having clever ideas just now. Perhaps burning the lower corners to move focus totally to the sleeping man? A more dramatic angle with the lens closer to man's feet? -Michael
