Hi!
Thank you for your well considered comments Boris.
You know, I went back & had a look at the shots taken from that day,
and the very next frame was this same young man looking straight at
me, with that same bored look, which covers almost all the points you
raised.

I just preferred the one where he hadn't noticed me yet. I also like
that little face in the background, but to be honest I didn't notice
him looking at me at the time :-)
Dave, that's the great challenge of photography, I think... You got the
motif right on the first shot and some probably less important technical
issues on this one... What ideally should've been done is to combine
both in one shot... I know I suffer from the same problem myself ;-).
Thanks for sharing...
Boris
