I Want To Play Too

I quickly grabbed this shot as I pulled up to a stop sign, and this young man looked like he was an outcast, not a part of the playing crowd. Hopefully he was able to join in on the fun before recess ended.

Awe, he for surely looks sad. I really hope he has at least one good friend! After all, one is all we need :) Good shot Rick!

Awww ... makes me wonder what the story is behind this. Thoughtful and lovely capture, Rick.

[Terry]

great capture , love the street shots

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good catch! I can't tell whether he's sad or off in his own world. I hope it's the latter and not the former.

[Mrs. Smith]

aww...this is so sad. It breaks my heart.

[Kerri]

Great capture

[Cathy Misze]

Ahhh I hope he wasn't an outcast. I like the processing you did with this shot!

Nice capture! different perspective? he is planning on how to hurt someone in the school.

[Paul Myers]

A very poignant shot Rick.

[jerry plume]

Poor guy! Great shot, Rick!

[Hemu]

May be he is a thinker...a meditator...an introvert!! Great shot!!

[Dione Giorgio]

Some people, even kids, prefer keeping to themselves. Hope he joined the others in the end. Love the shot.

[Allison Williams]

Heartbreaking, if as you say, he was shut out or ignored. But, as others have suggested, if he chooses to go his own thing, it is a great picture in contrasts.

[Debra Hall]

hopefully, it more that his imagination is coming in to play here. Lovely capture

[Laurie Higgins]

I love the way you processed this, Rick. It shows that this kind of behavior is timeless...kids will always leave someone out. The way his head is bent shows he is deep in thought.

[Margaret Tryon]

This is so good.

[Brian Baptie]

Aaaw!! The memories of the old school yard!!

[Maggiemae]

Kicking the stones - I know the feeling! Good photo

[Denise Breimeir]

The sepia tones are powerful in the lonely feel of this photo.

[bruni]

Poor fellow he looks so forlorn.

[Pam Hawkes]

Touching photo! Looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

[Betsie's Pinto Pony]

Really great shot. The photograph says it all. Perfect processing as well. Powerful capture here.

[Caren]

Awww...poor little guy! Great capture and I love the processing. FAV

[Jane]

Such an emotive shot... I really hope this young boy found someone to play with eventually... bless his heart ♥

[Matt Clendon]

Lost in his thoughts.

[Carolyn White]

Nice capture! I really hope someone played with him!
