11 dollars short

I really like this. That bottle on the counter is quite distracting, but if this is candid I guess you can't be too picky about that stuff. What's the story here?

This was in a little boxing club and the kid couldn't afford the $11 per month membership fee.But he went to watch(rather longingly)every day.If you look closely at the bottle it actually(imo)has a place in the story.After i tok this shot I talked to the kid and after he got permission from his parents,I am paying his fee for him...he really wants to box and while i am not a big boxing fan,i feel there are worse things he could be doing after school....Thankyou for your interest

any comments(pro or con),suggestions and/or ratings would be

appreciated..i shoot for myself but i dont live in a vacuum ;)

This photo is really great! I love it! I love the way his eyes are looking off... wistful, but not innocent. And the contrast suits me fine!

Captures the sense of longing very well. If you exhibit this, I think you will have to include the full context in a note.
