Oh, I love this! It plays with the mind and the little boy's stance with his leg stuck out and his foot slightly rolled is charming; he looks totally absorbed by the artwork. Lovely observation and great timing. Fav
This is very good indeed. I like the connection between the boy and the person in the picture (a person, incidentally, who immediately made my mind think of Yoko Ono).
Ooh! I love this - a fabulous scene , the little boy full of curiosity in seeing what the sitter sees ! making the viewer of your photo curious as well ! - very clever - fav !
It's almost like he isn't quite sure if he is looking at a painting or someone holding their cellphone. It's like he's apprehensive and is prepared if the person suddenly turns around.
Great catch- your mind definitely wants to assign the smaller image to a mirror- but then, where is the boy? As a painting it is even more fascinating because we can't really tell what's pulling him into viewing it. The image fully engages you!
The curiosity & the pose of the boy is excellent..
He is not sure what he sees & I am intrigued as well as he is seeing more than what appears to me I think.
Thanks for all commenting and giving us your thoughts.
This is actually a cutout opening in the wall of the room I was in looking into the adjacent room in the gallery. You can see an exhibit on the far wall of the room on the other side of the wall.
This woman with the mobile phone is “sitting on the hole in the wall” and taking photos of the exhibits in her room. The little boy just turned up to watch the woman. I was lucky enough to see and grab the shot with my iPhone.
The two labels on the right of the wall are for an exhibit out of sight. It just adds to the illusion that the boy is looking at a painting or photo!!!
I am so pleased with this image. I knew it was good the moment I pressed the button.
The irony is that I was at the gallery to meet some non photography people! After the meeting a couple of us decided to have a further look around. We only had phone cameras.
Fabulous capture!
Thanks for the much appreciated comments. Look carefully and see what the boy sees.
Thank you all.
Thank you again.
