    Well, careful because I think the boy in the picture is eyeing Johnny's pot of gold.

    Anytime you have more than one person in a photograph there is some type of “relationship” present. Here, what I find compelling is the element of the “gaze” of the young boy at the elderly man, and his “gaze” at the operator of the camera. His apparently brisk pace and the moment of the shutter add to this “fleeting moment!” The power of this moment out weights any distracting element in the photograph. I’d like you to consider applying less “burning” to the top part of the image and less “dodging” to the man’s face. When I can tell manipulation easily, I find it very distracting. This is just my opinion… I enjoy the moment here very much! Kudos!
