This shot, though not a portrait, obviously, is a great example of catching a "slice of life" so to speak. It is a picture that speaks volumes. It meets the challenge, and is very interesting besides. I like the expression on the boys' faces. It is like they are saying, "Whoa, what is that?" And the fellow in the middle provides such a neat contrast -- he is older, of a different ethnic/racial origin, and looks more traditional in a way. His shirt is also a nice touch as it is what drew me into the picture.
My only suggestions would have been a sharper focus. I don't know what your settings were, so if the lighting would have allowed it, a faster shutter speed may have help prevent some of the softness. Also, the background is a little busy, but it fits with the tone of the picture, I think.
cool. I love the bright colours of the boys's hair, however seems to me you added another element of "black and white" which makes the color interpretation very interesting. Good eye. Jacko. 9 Lacks a little sharpness.
Excellent capture! Definitely fits the challenge well... Wish it was a bit sharper, and that I could see the face of the guy in the center a bit better.
