I photographed this yangster in a bondinho (external link)(cable car) when coming down from the Sugar Loaf in Rio. I made the trip already some years ago, but just yesterday studied some of the pictures more carefully, and his expression grabbed my attention. I wonder what he was thinking ...

Nice emotion. I might just crop this one a bit tighter to rid the shadow on his shirt.

Otherwise great capture!

You noticed the thing I was most worried. After several tries I finally decided not to crop, though the shadow is - I admit - a bit disturbing. Thanks for your feedback, FuryMe.

I think the shadow helps to add a feeling of position.

Lenin, Daddy and m1nt31, thanks for feedback.

I feel that the shadow makes this as a combination of candid and portrait.

Good idea! I have made some picture books (for myself) but not from Brazil.
