Description
I was left to my own devices
Ruler of my own world, outsider to all others
Making sense out of shadows and alley cats
Loving life till there is nothing that can bring me down

If you see me you don't have to smile
I'll do alright without your understanding
But if you do see me remember my face
I am a statue of the will to make it no matter what

This is literally speaking to me! The photograph is very effective! Very nice composition! May I know what editing app you use? Is this only PS? O.O

all a border does is let you see the photo for what is worth and especially with websites bg which is not so flattering with everyone work...I see a little noise but not enough to hurt ....good job mate

Even though I like the shot a bunch the thing I like the most is this part of the poem:

Making sense out of shadows and alleycats
Loving life till there is nothing that can bring me down

That just, it's hard to describe, those lines just touched me (even though it maybe sounds a bit corny). How they make such perfect sense.

And I also love his curious expression, how he lets the paper lay on his lap and how he's recording all the miracles he sees to his memory.

I love this photo. That boy reminds me of someone called Olivier who lives in France. I stayed with him and his family for 2 weeks last year.

The colours are great and I really like the framing too. Everything right down to the look on his face. I can't decide whether it's a vacant or curious one.
