Extreme close-up on one small detail of a 7-year-old boy of Polynesian descent standing in a puddle that has formed the shape of a friendly robot, small fish swimming inside the water-robot, while the child reaches out to touch it. The boy has light olive skin, thick deep waves of short cropped dark brown hair worn loose, and wears a dinosaur T-shirt and shorts, concentrating hard with his tongue poking out. His outstretched hand breaks the surface, sending ripples spreading across the water, while leaves float on the surface of the water-robot and a reflection of the child's face appears in the robot's eye. The 200mm telephoto lens shoots from far away, stacking the background layers flat. The composition places the three main elements as the corners of a triangle. Low-key light from one small lamp illuminates the scene, leaving most of the frame in black. Shot on a full-frame digital camera with high ISO grain, sharp focus on the hand and ripples, and deep shadows swallowing the periphery.
