You`ve captured my perception of poverty; seemingly neglected yet oblivious with a piercing glare. I get a feeling of choice between recognising versus ignoring needs before us. The reflection on the wall increases interest. The bright clean junk food bag contrasts with the shaby clothes and the need to alter priorities. Should we create the best chip ever or care for our young? Ten

This kid knows poverty. There's dirt, then there's the accumulated dirt of poverty. This kid hasn't bathed in a while....eating junk food....good portrait of the face of poverty.

Good shot. Maybe a little over exposed around the face under the eyes. I am wondering what a steeper angle would have done for it. Also is much more impactful in black & white.

I can only assume he is poverty striken, it is a very good child study

OK, your image is just painful to look at. Little children are the most difficult part of poverty. You nailed the eyes, focus, and DOF. I gave you an (8).

Good capture. You should have removed the red eyes to create a better feeling

Charming yound child; however, for me, this isn't saying poverty. I see a messy, average, middle class little boy with freshly cut hair, just being a "little boy".

Not sure if this really presents Poverty, looks like a normal 6/7 year old eating chips. Having said that, the overall effect is good, with the downward facing shot. A good effort, well in focus, perhaps too much dark on left side, but reflection is good. Best of Luck.

I would have liked to see more of the child's reflection as IMO it would have made it a bit more powerful.

Very good shot. If you had gotten a near eye level, this would have been even better.

What a cute kid and a nice shot. I wish you could have got it without the bag of chips. As it happens I used to shoot television for an international childrens charity and we ran into this problem quite a lot. The poor, especially children, tend to subsist on expensive and nutritionally insignificant junk food.
