Photographer's Note
On the TE weekend in East Poland we also visited this little village with a big Orthodox church - in full swing with their Easter Procession (4 rounds around the church).
Very interesting to observe - and of course have some photos - as here of the little boy patiently following the priest on the rounds around the church.

Hi Jack
Very nice portrait of this orthodox priest. Excellent portrait, nice natural lighting, great colors. I like how you captured the expression of this kid. Nice work.

A fine scene from the orthodox procession, Jack. Very interesting study to see the priest totally engrossed in the proceedings, and the boy looking at him in a very absorbed way. The clarify tool needs to be applied with caution on photos that include human faces, I think on this photo you took it almost to the limit as the facial features of the kid start to look slightly eerie. A great moment portrayed though.

Well spoted, Jack. The boy makes this shot, although he's so small in the picture. There is a nice triangular ballance betweem the priest's hat, the boys face, and the cross.

They now are dreaming to be football players.
Well done with the scene here the eyes direction to the popes and the expression are very effective.
I like it

It's absolutely brilliant,Jack.
It was worth to go to Poland if only for that one, marvelous shot.
But, hey...There is more there, where this one came from...

Hi Jack,
What can I add to the chorus except to say I AGREE! The dedicated look of the priest and the way the boy looks up to him, seems to tell so many untold stories. Great Work!
With Greetings from India

The title of this photo couldn't be any better. It goes so well with the admiring, almost wistful expression on the young boys face.
Beautiful, expressive photo!
