Not a very good representation of my work, but i thought id submit it just for the sake of it. Not expecting a high score, but hopefully the top half. Hopefully thats not TOO optomistic :)

I like the idea, especially that the child is so off-center as to imply unimportance. The horizon is tilted though, and shot may be a bit too dark overall imo. Well conceived shot.
Great idea but lighting is everything and the entire image just looks dark and flat, its just my opinion but I think getting a small amount of spot type lighting on your subject would have made this idea work.
A concept with potential, unfortunately spoiled by some flaws: image way too dark, background not particularly interesting and image leaning.
Not a very high rating, sorry.
Happy Christmas !
aww lonely kid, great idea for a shot, the tilted horizon is not working for me though, either keep it straight and level or go extreeme and really tilt it. Also the exposure is right for the buildings in the background not the ally or the kid, be careful what you want to center of attention to be
Touchingly sad. The dark exposure sets the mood, the tilted horizon suggests that all is not right in the world, while the passers-by go about their business. Definitely a 10.
First of all, I'm finding the tilted horizon distraction. Also, this looks a tad underexposed... perhaps you intended that though, because it does give the image a very gloomy mood. I do wonder though, how this might look if at least something were bright. Perhaps the people passing by should be bright, and the boy in the dark, underexposed shadows, to emphasize the concept that he is alone while everyone else is enjoying the hustle and bustle of the holidays. That could probably be achieved with burning and dodging in photoshop. Just some thoughts - sorry for rambling. :) The composition is great here, and the black and white perfect. Overall this is a very nicely done photograph.
