The editing is outstanding and I see what you are thinking with respect to the challenge but without the title it is not clear what the boy is thinking or what the picture represents. None-the-less it is one of the best entries in my opinion.
this is my favourite in the challenge .. even when we are with people we feel close to we can feel alone .. and we can feel very alone in a crowd ..
btw i'm loving the tones in this photo ..
and hope the voters see the crowd .. i did .. !! .. :)
