Thanks Lydia. He was not a willing subject so this was as good as the expression was going to get! LOL! ~ Lonnit

A beautiful image. I like the hard expression, the tilt, and the reflection, too. ~Lydia

I like pushing envelopes, Nico! LOL!

Olaf, relax! LOL! He looks much older here for some reason. I noticed that too. He's still only nine. :) ~ Lonnit

He looks so big all of a sudden!

Simple and effective composition!

Full marks for the processing! As you said yourself in another comment: pushing your luck a little with the layered-ness! :-) :-) Regards Nico

Precisely. The complex-looking processing was actually quite simple. I used one of Nik's "Old Photo" filters on a duplicate layer, then backed it off about 5% and changed the opacity mode to, I believe, hard light. I love what it did to the grain in the wood. ~ Lonnit

Love to know how you processed this!? As to layeredness...? Foreground the wooden bench... middle the person and background bokeh... or how were you seeing this? Regards Nico
