This shot reminds me of a movie poster. The dramatic lighting, the out-of-focus look of concern from the woman in the background. The Captain, focus in the foreground on the problematic road ahead. I dunno... maybe I'm nuts. But it was the shot of the day and that's what I sort of was feeling. Like our hero was about to begin his mission - unsure of foot on his lame leg - with his mother looking on concerned. DRAMA! And all he was doing was watching "Blues Clues!"
