Great photo. The photographer's shadow really adds something wonderful to it, becoming an interesting focal-point rather than a distraction. I wonder if the photographer intended that, or whether it was just an unavoidable effect of the sun being so low in the sky behind him.

The interest of this scene is so much more with the photographers shadow in cluded in the foreground. I'm sure he looked at the picture and thought "this would have been good if I watched my shadows!" Love this.

Helena – Thank you! Wow, what a contrast to the pictures he took for the NCLC. Btw, there is also a link to a portrait of him as an adult in the first comment:
