J537 Post 2- My Favorite Photo I've Taken

Port Community Day

I took this picture during my summer photojournalism internship at the Post and Courier. There was a huge family celebration for Mt. Pleasant's Port Community Day at the Waterfront Memorial Park underneath the Ravenel Bridge. A local band was playing on the main lawn, there was food, face painting and a jump castle for the little ones. I took a lot of pictures of kids enjoying themselves and ladies walking their dogs. This little guy stuck out in the crowd to me. He's being led by his dad across the lawn to enjoy some music, there are some dark, heavy clouds looming behind the bridge, and he's looking back at something interesting. I have no idea what caught the little guy's eye, but the curious look on his face always draws me in. I really like the lighting on the boys face and the contrast between the dark sky and the cables on the bridge.
