Dead End: It's simply an opportunity to take a new road.

I think the reason this image went underrated is that it only works with the title, it does not convey a "dead end" per se, without that comment/description.
I like the story, though. Plus, the composition and technique are right on: sharp focus on the boy, a lovely DOF, saturation and square crop with subject slightly off-centered.
Well done!!!

Those exquisite "friends" are quite a nice touch to this simple and effective image. Focus seem soft on the flower, nonetheless a very nice composition.
