I like the way your eye goes to the girl in the background. She's the subject of the photo, but not in the place that you usually see the subject. She's slightly out of focus, but she's definitely up to something and you can see that written across her face.

Her brother is right up there looking at me with something else on his mind. You can tell there's a lot of humor in this photo, something that can never be posed or set up. It's precisely these relationships that you don't orchestrate, merely react to, and later you look at the photo and say, "hey, I caught something here!"

Each person who sees this photo tells a different story about what they see going on. While each remark is different, everyone notices the same things.
