What sets this apart from other photos of murals is that the boy seems to be entering the illusion. The aggressive shadows help this create. Marilyn is utterly transformed by the shadow as Bogie looks on in horror. 10

Finding some way to snip off and perfect some distortion of the Universe, that is the essence of photography. This is the essence of photography. The running child keeps this from being too cold. It's all just part of the fine-tuning of this perfection. 10

I think this would be much better if you cropped some of the bottom off and got rid of the boring symmetry. 6

Wow. I love Sylvia Plath, but did not know that poem. Your photo is such an excellent image to go with it. If I'd known that I would have given you an 11! ;)

Nice capture of facial expression, nice minimalistic use of detail: the face is drawn with simple shapes of black on white.. I think the excessive horizontality isn't helping you, it just draws attention to itself. I would try reducing it to cinema proportions. I don't mind the focus on the wall except that the texture isn't interesting enough. Perhaps if you cropped the left side you would fix both of my problems.
