When people think of portraits they naturally assume that the focus would be on the eyes which in most cases are open - I picked this photograph as I believe its an exception to the rule and captures a child's innocence but still produces a good photograph with the child's eyes being closed but again is the complete opposite of Steve McCurry's famous photograph of the Afghan girl with her piercing eyes. Again it shows that if the photograph is taken well then both methods work - whether the eyes are open or closed.
