Thanks for your great comment Scott! It was indeed not too easy to get the youngsters cooperate, especially since they had never before met the older men. However, I must say, the gentleman was so good with children, that they immediately felt at ease with him, resulting in some great shots. I definately agree on the cropping. When I have some time (expect that to be around 2020), I will definately upload some cropped versions here.
A very attractive image that has captured well a connection between the older gentleman and young child. Straight `away im thinking almost finding myself assuming the two are related and comfortable with each other. With the extremes of white and black in the photograph its always going to be a compromise in the exposure. Lots of detail in the wings draw the eyes toward center and perhaps with slightly more fill on the older gentlemans wing it would help. If you lost the lowest part of the photo where the pants were included and select instead to disclude them you will notice right away how much more distinguished the older gentleman would look. And by the way congratulations on getting the young ones cooperation which is quite difficult at the best of times
