This is great. You've captured the expression that you see in a lot of children of his age when they get going and have lots to share. The positioning of the coke in front of him could say a lot. You have a winner here Willie.

Classic ! I am sure norman rockwell is smiling at this presentation knowing this modern classic of americana might give us a glimpse of this playful but a bit nerdy boy whose eyes and moth express the joy of life... a gallery pice for sure

This is great! He is really cute and I think when you can capture a great expression, it beats any posed pic you could produce. Kudos.

I do Willie. Actually I was sure it would win the Expressions contest. But contests are always chancy.
This boy has a wonderful expressive face and I hope I will see more of your images of him.

What a funny guy. Love the color in this. Great expression. Good lighting. The black background helps it really stand out.

Wow, this is so cute; he looks like he is guarding the coke with his life! Great angle, color, contrast and detail.

Yes, he is very cute, and also you have captured the right moment. His expression is priceless.
The righting effect is very good on his skin tone â?? warm, smooth and sikly.
Thank you for sharing.
