I loved this picture during the challenge, and I still love it now! Me encanta la postura del nene, su expresión, y en especial la presentación con el pequeño borde gris y el enorme espacio blanco alrededor de la toma. The b/w is so good also. The worn-out ball is a beautiful touch.
La foto en si me gusto mucho por el impacto que tiene. Sinceramente no le di una puntuacion alta porque me llamaba mas la atencion del pie sobre el balon que el espacio negativo alrededor del niño.
Tiene mucho detalle, inclusive en las sombras y me imagino que impresa se ve fabulosa. Creo que hubiera resultado ganadora si el tema del concurso fuera niños o retratos.
some people may not say this is negative space because of the lines in the bricks and the shadows, but really, its space around the kid and his tattered soccerball, and I really get the feeling he's dreaming of being the next pele or beckham. :)
You got the right concept going here in my opinion. Great b&w and the wall works well as negative space. I just don't think there's enough of it. More wall (if that was possible) and loose the big frame which dwarfs what negative space you have. Would've made the boy look smaller too and emphasize the point that (I think) you are trying to make. As a photo outside the challenge I love it. The pose and look on his face are great.
Lovely shot, very sharp, great textures. 2 things bother me though... the shadows behind him spoil it a little for me, and the background has too much textural detail for me to really see it as negative space. However, score: 9
