I purposely kept the tonal values up to present an upbeat image of a young person reading. Another interpretation would be to make it really dark and brooding because he is not reading Proust. On the other hand, if an image causes a reaction, then there is some merit there. Thanks for taking the time to think about the image and comment.

I like the second image the most but I'd like things a little darker for these eyes. Not sure why I'm reacting this way...I'll have to think about it some more.
