Child Photo Competition 2014 No 2 : Entry Number 216

A boy having a blast with his little horse. Simple but it works. Harmonic composition! Well done!

(Leica M9 & Leica 50mm Noctilux f/1.0) It was a short stroll down "Hollywood Pictures Backlot" at Disneyland's California Adventure Park that I saw this adorable young gentleman and his fluffy friend. As he stepped into the center of the trolley rails, I knew it would be a great element in guiding the viewer's eye into the subject. Furthermore, the street lamps and studio lighting that hung high above also enclosed the image and gave it more of a cozy and warm feeling to me. It was during twilight hour when I took this photograph, the reflection of light sparkled on the brick flooring, making the tracks glow, and also lite up the boys face and just enough on the crest of his hair atop. If you look closer, you can also see that the boy was wearing a "Happy Birthday" button/lapel pin, which really completed the story of explaining why he was so exhilarated being at the "Happiest Place On Earth"! Thank you for this Mark of Excellence! ~Tuananh Nguyen
