Put the noose away, Frank - you may be about to hang an innocent man! It is not the usual frame that we see. As Ann has said, it was a commercial shoot, and the boy was supposed to look behind when he was level with the pebble that you see on the ground. By coincidence I bought a tin of Erwitt notecards a few days ago, and the usual b&w frame is in that set. I have just compared them and they are quite clearly different shots. This one may well have been shot in colour, EE covering himself in case it was preferred. I think it looks like a colour original, not a colourized version.
