The pic of your middle school boy sitting in the grass is my 12 ye old son's favorite in this set. When I downloaded the hi res shot I opened it life size on our 34" monitor and my son Justin ran over to look at the boy. Justin sat down beside me and leaned very close to the boy and started to blush a little. The picture is so clear and sharp and has so much detail the boy looked like he was directly in front of Justin. Justin was looking at the boy like he was in love with him and I thought for a second he was going to kiss him! I finally asked Justin if he thinks the boy is handsome and Justin looked at me with a huge grin and said, "not really handsome but he is very beautiful and looks alot more pretty than handsome, and I frickin' love his looks and his picture!". Justin said he wants to display the boy life size in a large digital picture frame he has in his room. I asked Justin what he is going to do with such a pretty boy in his room. Justin look at me and was blushing and started to grin and laughed and exclaimed, "When no one is around and no one is looking I am going to walk up to him and kiss him!"
