Photographers Comment

Neverland (Anghiari, Italy, 2012): Despite the staged appearance of this photograph, it was not posed. My son, Jasper, was playing with his shadow in the late afternoon sunlight, and I caught him, unaware, from a crosswalk. I liked the dramatic, cinematic backlighting from down the alley, the interplay of shadows and light, and the extreme diagonals in the composition. To me, Jasper's expression epitomizes childhood exuberance, and recalls Peter Pan's exclamation of boyish superiority, "Oh, the cleverness of me!" Thank you to the judge for the kind recognition, and congratulations to the other excellent entries. Trey Meckel [email protected]
