A great shot. The setting is appropriate and the expression on his face is sincere. Excellent composition and great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

I am afraid, it will be the winner of the contest rather than my entry; lol;
a fantastic portrait as I like, very natural, not smiling at the camera; excellent techs all around;

Good timing to capture his expression;! I wonder what the secret was! This is well presented with good focus, it's a clear image, nice facial detail , good natural colors and tones, background shows just enough of the picnic without being a distraction from your subject!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Great story telling factor.
Sharply focused.
Fine facial features & varied textures.
Fantabulous facial reaction!
This should have been a potential entry to the Action/Reaction photo contest!
Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...
