I am confused as to why this didn't score higher, but I'm glad to see it got some PH recognition. You captured the mood of a young man lost in his thoughts in an image with a pleasing composition and great colors and textures -- what's not to love?
A romantic shot. I love its mystery also. One would like to see what he sees, to look at him also, to imagine him growing up, to stay in the sun and feel the breeze ... Ah, youth, wasted on the young!
Interesting observation, my eyes were directly drawn to the border, and then made their way into the photo. This isn't a good thing, in my opinion. Maybe if the border were subdued a bit more, it wouldn't stick out so much.
Nice idea. If there was wind, allowing for a slower shutter speed to blur the vegetation while keeping the subject sharp could have made for a different but still interesting image and enhance the feeling the boy is lost in his thoughts.
