I agree. So let me critique the story: I think it lacks the typical stereotyping we have come to expect. It could also use a tad more drama. How about this - the boy is an inner city gang member and after becoming a father, he tries to get out but they won't let him. He just has to pull off one last "job" to secure the money for him and Rosita to run away together. :P

Seriously - I am loving your project - the photos and the stories.

My assumptions were not unfounded - the grass IS greener over there! :) Lovely image. I'd rather see the shot from the other side, but I'm a sucker for a cute kid face. :)

Very cool! I can't tell if she's heading toward the sea or coming from it. The overall image has a dream-like context. Surreal in a way.

ROFL - I looked at the image for a bit, was getting ready to comment, read the other comments, looked at the title, and wondered - "Old Man"? - then I looked at the image again and saw the man! I need glasses. :(
I love the image. The rabbit is a bit blown out, but not so much that it takes away from the overall impact.

Ignore Jutilda, she frequently breaks out in song like that. :P

Love the shot-through-screen! The details are great. ...read the crop suggestions below - I'd agree. But I'm sure it's a difficult decision to separate the boys. ;-)

Very purdy! A bit murky on the details - maybe size, maybe focus and subsequent processing. Shooting through glass (I assume) can be a pita! :)

He's peeking below the crop. ;-)
Lighting is great here. Would echo the awkward pose comment though. idnic is really good at these kinds of portraits - you might check her portfolio for posing ideas.
