I love this photo. Definitely my favorite of the four. It just seems so human. "Oscar" is not a paid model. He didn't wake up that morning thinking "Gee, I'm going to be photographed today. AND, later, a multitude of people I've never met will gaze at me trying to decipher what I was thinking at that moment." He's simply a boy, sitting against a fence.
I sort of feel bad for raining on your parade bombilla, but I got an entirely different impression from this photo. To me, it does look as if he were placed in that position and told what to do. I find it hard to believe that he would not stir at all if he were truly just sitting by a fence and some stranger with a camera came and got in his face. I could be wrong of course, but that was just the impression that I got.

Like we could all be.
