Lovely, but ever so sad. You've captured the mood and expression. Your bg creates the darkness of the emotion.

Thanks for the comments. This photo just came into my mind when I read about an article related to poverty and hunger.
Have you noticed? While the world is globalizing, there is an increasing number of poor people who are missing out on this apparent boom, while increasingly fewer people are becoming far wealthier. It's so sad... #5500656

Well-captured and presented, Toti.
