Absolutely stunning. I'd hesitate to call any photograph perfect, but I wouldn't know what else to call this shot.

Fantastic job, congrats.

The way this image took place is a bit different too:
I am on the way to a village coming down from a pass at around 4000m alt in East Nepal. I am alone with no guide and a 15 kg backpack. I was lost for quite a while, going the wrong way in the forest; common in Nepal, there are paths everywhere! Then after maybe an hour turning around I could see green fields through the trees.
Above the village there are barley fields and this young sherpa boy was just running down the hill having fun. I took the camera out and clicked without thinking much... only weeks later while I uploaded the images on the laptop did I realized it is actually a powerful image expressing freedom and innocence.
A lucky shot!
