Such a great emotive piece, the hard look on the boys face create a juxtaposition with the eyes that hold a lot of pain, you can tell he is trying to be strong but its hard for him.
The desaturation of the colour with the back light focus you entirely on the face and the cropping of the image draws you in, its a technique first done by David Bailey in the 60's and makes the viewer feel closer to the subject and in this image you are drawn to the eyes in the low profile. Add this to the scars the face shows and you know there are so many stories in a face so young.

Captivating image.
