it almost looks like a monochrome painting. I like it.

I took a people photography class some years ago, and the first lesson was geared toward awkward places to chop the human body. Cutting the body off at major joints almost always looks accidental rather than one's compositional intent. Chopping him off at the knees, as well as cramming them tightly into the frame makes this seem like more of a shot-from-the-hip snapshot than a thought-out, composed image.

Comment by SaraR:
The composition here is alittle tight for my taste, and the photo has a rather washed out appearance. There is something about the texture (or perhaps lack of) of the dog's coat and the boy's hand that bothers me.

Chris,
This is extra cool. I agree you should put the story in the comments section. I like the angle, graininess, and obvious candid expressions. So much more interesting than a staid portrait.
