A little brighter and this would have been a GREAT shot. Very strong focus on the subject. I'm less thrilled with the framing....since he is gazing to the right, I think placing him on the left 1/3 line would have been more inclusive of the direction of his gaze. It's still very good. 8 Swash
I don't know if it would have been possible, but if this little guy could have been more on the left, so that he was looking into the frame instead of out, I think it would have been more effective. karmat
The boy is a good subject but I would like to see more in frame in front of him than is behind him. It would help to give us an idea of what he is looking at or doing (possibly waiting for parent with groceries?). Since he is looking to the right, some of the background stuff on the left is a little distracting. Score: 7 Courtenay
nicely done .. i woulda liked to see what the child is looking at .. if anything ... maybe shifted the photo over to put the child on the left side - still nice though - Ayme -6
There's something really nice about this photo. The way the light makes the kid's skin glow is beautiful, plus his attitude and expression.... what's under that tarp? Why is he in this place full of garbage? It definitely captures a mood and makes me think.
wonderful shot. nice light. my only suggestion is i think it would be a stronger composition if the child was on the left side of the frame. that is the nature of candid photography though. got take it when you can. good job. 8 goodtimecharlee
Interesting shot, what is he doing or thinking about? Might a different standpoint have told the story a little better? So we know what he is looking at?
