The body language of these youths is very distinctive. The journalistic style makes one imagine one knows a lot about them. The composition is simple, but interesting; and while the background is slightly cluttered it adds interest without being too distracting. I thought this deserved to be in the top ten.
I think this photo was rated much too low by many voters because they construed the challange in an unnecessarily narrow sense. I suppose it also suffered beacuse small pictures need to be simple and have a single point of interest due to the nature of the medium.
I originally thought this a bit snap-shot-ish but the more I look at it the more I like it. I like that they're all looking somewhere different and portray the carriage of young men so well. I like the repeating dock structures just beyond them, and I like the contrast of their dark clothing to the surroundings.
I don't find much special about this shot but I do find it appealing. I'm not sure what I like, must trigger some emotion? Anyway it's a good entry and I hope you do well.
