The intention was to keep some small tonal detail in the youngster (I can even see the pebbles flying from the back of his shoe as he pushes off and dirt/wet spots on the back of his shirt). A print levels all these differences to what I wanted to show. Moral: Print! :-) I'm pleased you enjoy the image, in both incarnations.
