What do you think his eyes tell you is going on in the head of this (I think) lovely boy?
Edit, added Monday afternoon: The picture, of which only the heart appears below, covered the whole width of the front page of the Sunday NY Times Week In Review. The ‘person’ leapt out at me and I was drawn to the eyes which were looking just to the right of the camera but seemed to be strongly focused. I couldn’t think what the boy might have been thinking and I wondered what those eyes might say to a bunch of perceptive folks like those on this board without knowing the context.
If you get something, please reply here as I have posted the full photo and caption below and the lack of context will be blown as it was for me. Thanks, Mac

I'll tell you the little I know about him after I've seen some answers.

Are you sure it's a boy? And, if so, why?
Not an entirely frivolous question; with the current furore in the UK about muslim women wearing veils in jobs requiring interpersonal contact, I'd instinctively have assumed that 'he' was a girl!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

Must be the eyelashes. The caption clearly states he's a man. I guess I instinctively made him a boy.

He looks too wrinkly around the eyes to be young, I would have thought, unless he's had a very hard life. Otherwise he could be pretty much any age, but I'd tend to assume older rather than younger.

Listen, English Boy - not everyone's got a 'peaches & cream' complexion. People in countries with harsh sunlight, (indeed, any sunlight), do tend to get a bit wrinkly around the eyes, even at a young age.
You might be right, but i think it's a boy - teenager.
cheers

A declarative sentence in quotation marks followed by a question mark! What does that mean?
Oh well……………
The picture, of which I posted only the heart, covered the whole width of the front page of the Sunday NY Times Week In Review. The ‘person’ leapt out at me and I was drawn to the eyes which were looking just to the right of the camera but seemed to be strongly focused. I couldn’t think what he might have been thinking and I wondered what those eyes might say to a bunch of perceptive folks like those here without knowing the context. So far, apparently, nothing.
The caption of the photo reads in part: “MASKED: A militiaman in Baghdad carries a rocket launcher and a Koran during a parade by the Mahdi Army,...”
[I tried twice to attach the picture here. Maybe Timmy can do it.}
Hope so, Mac
The original picture was enormous. I have edited it for size and resolutiion

You asked what was going through his mind. 
What is a real shame is that any nation "needs" armed militias like this, especially for "one brand of god against another brand of god".

Agree! Not even "needs". "Has" is bad enough!
