I am really not sure what this is and whether it is a door, etc. It is an interesting image. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. 5

4...Oh I wish I could give you more, because I do like your idea, and the fact that you did more than merely search out a title to match an image. This tells me you know a bit of what's going on between the covers. I've handed you a 4 becasue I think this is poorly crafted. There is that weird little hot white pixel above the left side of his head. There is also a grayish one right above the left thumb. Maybe it's stuff on the ground, but it could have been cloned or healed away.There is also a haloing around some edges, perhaps from over sharpening. It's also noisy. I don't mind some natural looking grain sort of noise, and sometimes digital noise works, but for this image I don't care for it. Lastly, the B&W conversion is quite flat. I think a simple levels or curve adjustment might help that. Simple little technical fixes would make this quite a nice little photograph.

Too bad that you did not find a boy to hold the bowl. There are a few inconsistencies here determined mostly by the awkwardness of the sitter. I would be happy if you will revisit this idea. I would like to see the result.

There are some excellent shots in this challenge that really reflect not just the title of the book, but the content as well. This is one of them. The second I opened this I could hear his voice in my head politely asking for some more, please. Bonus points for doing this as a grainy dark black and white. 9

Just a perfect shot for the chosen book! Really love the b&w treatment and the unusual perspective! Nicely done! Wish the background was solid black though, the mottled look is a touch distracting/

Excellent! Fits the novel beautifully, love the dirty hand. Not sure of cutting off the fingers on the bottom and the negative space. I think I like the negative space, but would have liked the fingers? I would have cloned the white speck up on the background, as well (doesn't hurt the score, just a critique). -8-

powerfully presented. I can hear the cockney lad's voice "just another ladle of gruel, sir?"

Comment by Denielle:
I like this shot... but it seems a little rigid(?). Not quite sure about the word I'm looking for.
But the outline of the boys hands looks odd.
Still, I gave it a 6
