picture was taken in a baby soccer match when the referee ended the match, the child is sad bacause his team was defeated. I would like the child was closer to me to get a sharper image of his face.
in photoshop: crop, levels, hue and saturation, sharpen then add frame.

This is a lovely candid that's perfect for the challenge.
The expression on this young man's face of that exact moment of failure and despair has been captured perfectly. The emotion is there in his face, his eyes and his body language. It's meaning is universal and needs no explaining.
The toning works really well with the football shirt, and as a way to simplify the message even more - making the image more powerful.
I actually like the grain,it adds grityness. And thank the photography gods that you didn't try to neat image it;)
I don't mind his elbow being out of shot, as I know he has an elbow:), and the eye is drawn to and kept on that pained face.
I can definitely see failure here. Great expression and a very nice capture. I am not a big fan of the noise in this one, and I would like to see the rest of his right elbow. I think that chopping it off leads the eye right out of the frame.
