Absolutely beautiful! Flawlessly sharp, and I love the joy on his face and the sparkle in his eyes. Mesmerizing!

What a delightful expression. I agree about happiness - it isn't about money. This is wonderful.

Great shot. I especially like how you've got points of interest at every level of the photo- The background is obviously a focal point with its beautiful color and streaming sun rays, but the trees frame things nicely and the people all staring off into the sunset are neat too. I like that you have kept them from becoming silhouettes, as well.
