I'm curious where this was taken. That's what is great about kids, a huge smile on his face no matter the circumstances.

What can I say... what a great photojournalism picture.

All that and a smile too? We could learn a lot from this child.

What a beautiful, friendly expression on this child's face and you caught it very well in this photo.

One picture is worth a thousand words. Such a telling image.

Very sad, but he is so happy. Great shot.

I don't see how his innocence was 'polluted' per se even though he's missing an arm.

I see it now.... took me awhile but the title helped wich is something I always read last. This is a high impact image, well done.

Moving subject! I would have liked a less squarer image and wanted more negative space of water. perhaps going b/w with this image would have helped make the lighting seem less orange-ish..
