Beautiful. Took me a minute or two to find the pencil though. Hope that doesn't hurt you. You would think the shadow would make it obvious. Great work. karmat

Can't think of anything it needs to improve. I like the "simplicity" of hte shot, and how the pencils leave the frame. karmat

Suggestive, almost, except for the pencil. Hahah. :-) I like the use of the lighting here and how the shadows are on the left side of the face. Good work. karmat

I really like the framing on this one. It is a touch dark, and I think that causes you to lose some details, but it may be this monitor. karmat

I really like the colors in this, and the blue sky on the right. I don't know if it would have been possible, but if the crane could have been shown at a slightly different angle, it may have given more "movement" to the picture. karmat

Thanks for all of the awesome comments. I am pleased with my "Top 10" finish. To address a couple of comments, it was a touch dark, but lightening in postprocessing made teh colors do funky things. I left the column on teh right to make the little boy look smaller, and i didn't include the school name for a couple of reasons. Primarily because it is Canton MIDDLE School, and this kid is obviously not in 6th grade. None of the elementary schools around had teh right look that i wanted. Again thanks!

Nice perspective, but the colors are a little muted for me. maybe boost the contrast and/or saturation, some? karmat
