Smiling Buddha
A cheeky, young Cambodian boy looks down through a floor. The house was on stilts and I had to lie down on the ground and shoot upwards to get this picture.

Oh wow this is great. The boy looks so happy. With lots of those kinds of images, (someone standing behind bars) the person looks confined. But with this image, the boys spirit seems to radiate through the image regardless of his confinement.

What a terrific angle. Thanks for giving detail on how you captured the immage, I might have thought he was peering from behind a fence otherwise. Makes you wonder if he lives in this house with floors in this condition. * Coy *
