Description
Continuing my photojournalistic efforts (photos that tell stories) this is another one.I hope you get the story by the image and not the title.
Any suggestions on a better title do not hesitate.
(Sorry for the crude processing I am away from home and my familiar software tools)

Wish the boy was wathing the head of the man. nice work.

think so?
but then he would be looking for an answer or response and not thinking enviously that he wished he were tall!
by looking at the man in general and at his body in specific you KNOW he is thinking of how it would feel if he were tall as well...
that of course is how i c it...
thank you for your observation though

Wow, really greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaat concept !!!
The little child is wondering what the adult is looking at ... he can hear the sounds, maybe smell something, ...
But even though he's already standing at the tips of his toes ... he is not able to see what is going on down there !!!
Really a lovely shot

Did you blur the background yourself? I ask because there's a little layer, just above the wall and the boy's fingers, that isn't blurred. It just looks a little strange, so I thought I'd mention it.

Thanks you so very much! this is a piece for a contest so I hope you are right.
But do tell me how you found us (me and this photo)? Was it browsing?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, actually i saw it in someone's favourites... I think it
was "syntes" or something like that. : ) And... oh well, I
instantly fell in love with this one. Well, good luck for the
Contest, I hope you win it because you really deserve it.

So, this is my 3rd try to comment this photo. I wanted to do so since a few days and this
morning when i saw it again i found the clue.
I know you didnt want this to be read as artistic work but the symbolism is just too strong
not to do so. So everything from here will be an artistic interpretation:
I think the title is 'wrong'. For me, a better title would be 'i dont wanna grow up'. Why?
because the boy looks innocent and easy minded. In contrast to the man who might be seen
as someone with sorrows due to his head which is hold to the ground.
And i had this thought because of this song from T.Waits
...
Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wnna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
...
Seeing it as a difference of body heights the title absolutely fits of course. I like this very much.
You paid great attention to a very nice moment!
