Aww, this is so sad. The little girl's posture is so forlorn, and the duotone adds to the loneliness and disappointment of the image. Nice work.

okay, i'll get the title out o the way first, because frankly, it's a bit rubbish, and it does you photograph no good whatsoever. it feels too heavy handed and completely unnecessary. the shot says so much on it's own, and is so rich in character and feeling and emotion and mood that your title dilutes it. so i'm going to wipe your title from my mind and bask in the brilliance that is your artwork. it's brilliantly understated ,and lit so well fully embracing the environment in which it was taken. technically, it could do with being a little sharper (tripod on a timer?) and the only thin i would have done differently is cropped about half an inch to lose some of the glare at the top. the sepia is a perfect choice, it conveys a sad warmth... i like that your a good distance from the subject too; there is great composition here. very well done. 9.

Your title is like a lawyers leading question in court. It leeds one right up the garden path into believing. The image sits there awaiting the viewer. Both work very well together and evoke a strong sense of sad desolation. Considering many nations are littered these days with broken, divorced, one-parent families, this image I think can be understood by a wide audience. It is not repugnant - but very sad.

A really creative image. very emotional.

great comp, nice leading line, light excellent, light pole almost distracting and a bit too close to model, great texture, blacks a bit deep, whites blown, great emotional value
