It's a great portrait. You have captured the critical moment. The boy's expression is interesting. He doesn't look happy. Because of your camera? Anyway, the shot is excellent.

These boys haunt me - their faces seem haunted and none of them seem calm and peaceful as we would expect them to be. I do not know much of their culture and religion...do these boys have a choice to be there or do their families commit them to the monastary for religious reasons and so that this point they may be angry with what must seem to them abandonment from their families and they must learn acceptance?
