Chance portrait

Well, sort of.
It was very dark outside and a crowd had gathered to wait for a fireworks show to start. I tested my camera for its abilities in that dark and how I'd manage with it handheld when not far behind me I saw this boy playing with his phone, that light being the only to give some light. I quite like how it turned out.

I like this, in particular the desaturated quality of the colour. It looks like your camera passed the test

Thanks all.
I quite like how his hands also get this glow of the soft light source in them.
And I did not work on this photo in post.
I don't usually post any photos that haven't undergone any post processing, but this one didn't need any, I felt.
