So many scenes playing out. Unusual perspective to the photograph looking UP to the animal. Tremendous focus, but also joy in his eyes. The boys on either side are terrified, while the one just behind is fascinated. No context to tease out the intent here, other than he has an audience. Sepia 5 x 7 w/ corner damage top left that does not affect subject.
