Nice coming-of-age portrait. Processing is a bit distracting.

My team and I were marveling at the dearth of comments in this challenge so I thought I would at least attempt to correct that a little:
I really like this portrait as it speaks to the viewer regardless of whether you read the title or not. However, the pole behind his head is distracting; perhaps a crop just above his hat would help remove that focus while leaving more than enough environmental elements to still tell the story.
