| How very still he appears. He is not concentrating, but he is definitely thinking about something. He looks like the type of person who will carefully consider what you ask before he answers. There is a bit of stress around the mouth that is surprising for someone so young. Because the pose and his expression are so mature-seeming, I get flashes of what he'll look like as a man, and then, as an old man... the photo sets off a little time lapse photography flick in my head. Interesting and spooky. |

| It's an adult pose for a young boy. I can imagine it in an album along with photos of the subject in a more light-hearted mood. The black background gives this portrait a sombre feeling. Turning the head a little toward the camera and a small tilt would make the moment more endearing and human. |

| He still looks like a boy to me, with his big head and big eyes and that smile that peeks through his attempt at seriousness, and the awkwardness of his hand as it tries to find a place near his chin. There is still hope for this adult-wannabe, hope that he will grow out of wanting to be an adult. |

For commercial photography, probably the reaction that should be most important to you is from your client.
My reaction - wait for the child to have an interesting expression or pose in a non-artifical setting and then take the photograph. These are the photographs that will be cherished twenty years from now. |
