a very classic shot that brings to mind the unaltered, honest works of P.H. Emerson. I for one appreciate your approach here. I suspect though that you've received a number of comments concerning bumping up contrast. DPC likes high contrast b+w, but that doesn't mean that this isn't a fantastic shot.
Love this. My only comment is that it looks a little 'flat'. Maybe a boost on contrast? Perfect on so many levels otherwise. It presents a wonderful feeling through-out. Good luck.
He's close enought to the right third of the frame, that it feels like he should be there. I think getting a bit closer (though I understand you would then lose some of the size perspective) would help to show him and his expression a bit clearer.
This photo has a certain classic feel to it. I think with perhaps just a little bit of adjustment in Curves, the B&W tones would really pop! I like the composition and the boy alone amidst all that corn.
This is such an interesting scene! It captivates me and draws me in. And something about it takes me back to another time. I love the tones in it. I just really love everything about it! Great work!
