I was playing with this image when a track appeared playing on my ipod in shuffle mode from the Riceboy Sleeps album I thought it was a coincidence. Boy in title - piano in tune. So this is dedicated to Jonsi and Alex and here's the song...Riceboy Sleeps - All The Big Trees

This has a very moody feel to it created in most part by the processing. The very tight framing of the face creates a strong image with the reflections in the goggles adding a mysterious undertone.
I always try to avoid looking at the photographer's name before I decide to vote/comment so I was surprised when I saw whose it was - perhaps I shouldn't have been. This is the first of your images that I have come across since joining the site and I hope that it is not the last.
Really needs to be seen large to fully appreciate all that's going on. Great tonal quality and I like the playful reflections.
Intriguing title and a suitably intriguing image to go with it Pete. And it suits the rather mystical quality of the music too. The reflection in the left spectacle lens looks a teensy bit light to my eyes, maybe run a grad across it to darken towards the edge of the image? All in all though this is a very good looking pic.
very powerful image, has a real futuristic feel to it
Quality tune. Works so well with the image. Really like the processing and the reflections in his goggles. Very powerful viewed large.
Quote: I hope this gets picked up by the guest editor.
Is this a first? Not the reason, just think it's a fabulous piece of work.
A stunning capture, it caught my eye from the DP< WOW!

Blimey that was a good response. Thanks for all your really thoughtful comments...they lift me... like the music.
Also big thanks to DaveU a useful suggestion. I did a flat opacity blend...a gradient would indeed be an improvement.
Blimey and my first award...thanks very much 
Lovely work Pete, re the track, it's amazing what atmosphere can be created with just 3 notes, sounds like G, Bb G Eb 
, never heard the track, thanks for the link,
Geoff.
