Boy and Dish

You sure have a way of making it difficult in choosing between a color and B&W versions.  The composition is terrific.  One can wonder if he's sleeping after a meal or sleeping because there is no meal.  I think I prefer the B &W simply because I can "see" the boy better, yet the strong pattern of the mat still comes through in your B&W conversion.

meaningful and striking ..

with best wishes.

Interesting shot, expressive black & white version!

Impressive shot and composition. Best wishes, Olaf

Nice interaction between the boy and the plate. The meaning remains unclear. Good composition and B&W tones. Regards. 

I hope he is sleeping with a full tummy. Lovely photo. Thank you for sharing. :)
