Anita, I love the direction your shots have been taking. It is quite apparent that you have been emotionally inspired. This is great and love the toning. Congrats on a great finish!
yes, cinematic is a good word to describe this shot. The vignetting is a nice stylish choice. People have mentioned the obscurity here, the dark faces, etc. but I feel that adds to the mood. Its a good, creative image.
Wow. This is awesome. Perfect light, beautiful composition, and wonderfully moody processing. If I were to question one thing, I might have toned down the contrast on the back pocket. But, what do I know? Still, this is my favorite of the challenge.
Part of me likes the moodiness of this shot but part of me doesn't like the fact that both the boy and dog's faces are in darkness; I find it hard to connect the affection here when I can't see any expressions. I also don't think the vignette is needed since you have the thick black border. Nice silhouettes though and it held my attention regardless of my reservation.
