I love the shot. It's beautiful. But the meaning saddens me. It just looks so familiar.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Thanks Yakim, kids are overly connected to their electronic toys - I agree. Speaking of electronics - this pushed my 5D mkII to the limit for the scene is entirely lit by the DS.

Good interpretation of the assignment and a good job on the photo in challenging lighting conditions.

Too true - and some adults I know also.

Very well done under the conditions, but presumably the noise at that ISO combined with the screen lighting has made it look as if the boy has an unfortunate type of skin condition.
