He's a MAN now! Or will think he is at least! Nice capture of a very spiritual and powerful moment! Good job! I like it

A nice shot of an obviously very important moment in this boy's life. Un-posed shots are great - give you a real feel of the moment, even tho for the uninitiated it would be good to know what is actually happening here. Thanks.

What a great and important event in a young man's life. This is a wonderful photo to remember this moment. As with most unposed for photo's the backdrop isn't the best. I would love to know what is acually going on here. I see several hands but I don't know what they are doing.
