Page Boy

I took this shot at a friends wedding ages ago. I loved the expression on the little chaps face as he sat on a nearby gravestone watching the ongoing official photography.

I deliberately threw the 'happy couple' out of focus in the background whilst still keeping them appropriately framed.

The first time I took this to the printers, the lab assistant printed the out of focus couple and cropped off the actual subject of the small boy! I wonder why he thought I wanted blurred 10x8 photo blowing up?
