A small catch, a serious look

They didn’t smile.

Three boys, standing barefoot in the road, holding fish strung along a stick — their morning work already done.

The smallest one stood in front, serious, almost defiant. Behind him, the others watched quietly.

No performance, no playfulness. Just a moment of being seen.
