Interesting portrait, the foot in the foreground is a nice touch. Interesting background, but could perhaps do with more contrast with subject. Composition a bit too centred for my taste. 7
A credible straightforward shot with a very 'real' feel to it, technically aedequate.
I admit that the wall is not without interest, but question the need to iclude as much of it as has been done. I feel similarly about the central composition, given the restful, uneven posture and casual attire of the subject. I can imagine a more charged and less static image, if the rule of third had been considered for this picture.
I like the choice of b & w. It's less likely to be viewed as a snapshot and, instead, seasons the picture.
The choice of black and white seems to put a bit of a mood on the image, which I suppose could appropriately compliment the concentrated look on his face also. The wall background gives a nice contrast to the rest of the image. Unfortunately there isnt much detail on his face and so the shot relies a lot on his body language. It's a good shot, but I think I may have preferred it had it had some more drama, whether that be lighting, pose, or position in the frame.
What I like most about your shot is I get the sense you are on his level when you took it, i.e. you knelt down. It works well in B&W too. Subject is convincing. Well done.
I like this image a lot - since I am having to learn a lot about cropping I wondered if you had thought of cropping this and pulling the figure and the texture of the stones in more tightly
