Perhaps a better title would be Waif. This alarming image throws the imagination into overdrive. Perhaps you had irony in mind with 'Princess.' But I don't think it fits this haunting image. Beautifully done!

Beautiful, beautiful photograph! Highlights beautifully balanced and the shadows are wonderfully rich. What film were you using? Don't break m heart and tell me this is digital!

This is absolutely wonderful. I love its intimacy and selective focus. 

My guess is that the setting was f4, so the primary focus is on the first boy, yet there is enough depth so the others don't simply dissolve into blurred irrelevance. There's terrific spontaneity in this shot, as if the second boy is pushing the smaller, braver boy toward you as a shield. You must have taken this quickly, because little kids have a habit of breaking into grins whenever they see a camera. Well done; terrific mystery in this shot.
