i love your metaphorical interpretation of the challenge theme.
a half brother is someone who becomes a close part of your family (resp. "moving into the frame") although you don't know the person well.
the half face crop really works in that aspect! well done!
Sorry about first comment and the low first rate. I just misunderstood rules of the contest about having or not peoples in the frame...Anyway I will fix my mistake. Thanks for you understanding
He doesn't seem to be moving into or out of the frame. He appears to just be stationary
"Create an image where the subject(s) is/are moving into or out of the frame."
to me this looks very static and doesn't meet the challenge theme. while the subject is only partially in the shot, there isn't any suggestion of him moving in or out of the frame
