A good looking image posted here into the competition together with interesting notes too! Your fine and classical composition offers us an good view of that disabled little lad drawing. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

This is a truly captivating photo!
For me, the best element is the intensity of his expression. You immediately sense that this drawing is important and that he wants to share it with you. "Look here!", as he draws your attention with his pointing finger.
It is also perfectly composed, colorful, and precise.
Thank you for sharing this photo and lovely story. Thanks, too, for your voluntary work, especially satisfying to have done it with your son. I applaud you!

    Thank you So much Bay! When I chose this photo for the contest I wasn?t sure I was making the right choice, wondering if I liked it merely because of my fondness for Sammy and if my choice was based more on nostalgia than content. So I?m especially pleased you liked it too!

    Your inner voice won't mislead you. It certainly didn't here.
