8 being compassion

Now this young boy could be feverish with an illness as indicated by his closed eyes! Mum is gently kissing his forehead to just show him she is there and is concerned! Whether or not this is true, I think my interpretation is spot on!

@maggiemae I think @johnnyfrs will be very flattered being called a young boy...I won't hear the end of it!

[Lisa Pouncy]

I too thought it was a young boy! Your crop is fab, love the sepia too. A very compassionate shot xx

I love the lighting and the quietness.

This is so, so beautiful! ..and I recognised that mop-headed photographer on the left! ;-)
I think it's the soft, warm tones that make this shot....fave of course!
