At the request of my Mother, she wanted me to take some pictures of my two cousins. So I took some posed shots on the playground which i don't really like to do. I like to capture kids in the moment, more natural. Captures the innocence of the moment. Ontop of that i don't have a studio to shoot in :), so i work with what i got.
This shot was the last of 10 why my Mother said it was time to go hence the title.
Post-process:
brightness/contrast
channel mixer for monochrome
Levels
then added a double border

Wow, a lot going on behind the eyes. Decisive moment!
Just my opinion, but on this image getting the eyes a little closer to the thirds might make the image more cohesive and powerful (keeping the viewers eye roaming inside the image) - To do this seems like you'd best frame more space in front about 20% and a tad more above. Definitely don't want to lose the strong diagonals by cropping the bottom.
Overall, great image.
This is a beautiful image and I can see how the title is quite fitting. My only issue is that too much of the head is missing but I'll still bump it up to a 6 based upon all the other elements. Good luck!
