I have to admit that part of what I thought interesting about the shot is exactly that it's hard to tell exactly what's going on - there can be many interpretations, I think.
The large cups in the foreground are actually just beer cups, the same size as the other one; the perspective of the 24mm lens just exaggerated them is all. Interesting thought about the big/small dichotomy, though. I like it.
Thanks again. Glad you liked it.
cheers, frank

Interesting shot, Frank - really draws me in.
The boy seems to be staring down the big guy... or maybe something else is going on. It's engaging in that I formed a solid snap judgement about the scene but then second thoughts and new interpretations started creeping in. I like the designs in the cup and on the boy's shirt. The popcorn containers and the cup seem to subtly repeat the big guy / little guy motif.
