Nice portrait of the child. Did you consider a tighter face shot ? the foreground is a little distracting with so much going on in the background. The child is almost lost.
I love how you concentrated on the positive aspect here, yet very clearly showing the "poverty" part, as well. The amount of blur is just right to let the subject stand out, yet still make out what the mess in the background is. Great shot!
I guess this is an all too amilair scene in this part of the world, I like this image but it apears a little flat and needs to be lofted a little fill flash could have helped.
Good capture but wish better quality. Also the main subject is darker then backround...thats not best way. But its nice picture... i like his simple natural smile.
Now that's something I've been looking for in this chalange :) I wanted to shoot something like that my self but I was one child short hehe. Love this shot.
Aww. This is very sad. Cute kid. I wish the lighting on the kid were a bit better, but still very emotional shot. Excellent choice for the challenge. ~Heather~
