This picture was taken at Urfu Vilage in Biak island.
In the first sight for this moment, I saw blue and yellow colors. It is good combination colors, so make me to take this picture.
I using 2 layer, one is more shadow and other is normal then give little blur to give a mood in the picture. I erased several area to make looks like spot lighting fall to the boy. At back ground there was the shadow from palm tree.
Thank you for vote and your critique.

Lighting on the child and the fence he is leaning on are great. Tilt of the fence and blownout background, not so great.
Perhaps cropped so the child and the right portion of the fence fill the scene (placing the face on a thirds intersection most likely), would be an even more dramatic composition.
Great colors, focus, and portrait of this young boy. The shadow of the palm frond on the back wall breaks up the light such that it almost give the illusion of 'beams' of light falling upon the boy. The critique I have is that bring us closer to your subject. Go in closer and really have your main subject (this child) fill up the frame. The left 1/3 of the picture is not doing much for the composition as a whole. It is the young boy that is the focus and by bringing the viewer closer to the subject you increase the visual and human interest appeal.
