He was really trying. This picture probably shows a small youngster working on an obviously difficult subject with great focus and effort. Perhaps with his tongue slightly out, the picture might portray a small boy with his face twisted in resolve, a universal indicator of great concentration for youngsters. The current work could be anything from first-time shoelace tying to challenging problem solving to simply trying to reach a cookie jar just out of reach. The photographer has captured the child's will and tenacity in the face of adversity, therefore freezing this moment of pure, unvarnished effort. The child's expressive face and body language will grab everyone's attention even if the background could be vague. This picture not only offers a little comedy in the overdone concentration expression but also reminds me of the persistence of children and their readiness to face obstacles squarely. Viewers will be able to relate to this kind of picture, which reminds them of their own childhood challenges and successes and maybe motivates a fresh respect of the learning process and the need of effort, independent of the result.
