Captured this shot while I was covering a youth mud bowl event fot

the local paper. The picture was taken just before this kid was to

get hosed down after the mud bowl. He looked up at the camera just

as I shot the picture. I was particularly drawn to his eyes. The

image was sharpened up a bit in Jasc Paint Shop Pro, to bring out the

eyes.

The mud in his hair, the light through his ears, the way he stands out from the background, are all great. I wonder if the eyes really needed enhancement, though? I'd guess they were pretty striking to start with...

Very Lord-Of-The-Flies-ish. Great pose.
