Nice tones. Great time of day to take a photo. I like the comp and the subject matter.

Comment by kirsty_mcn:
I love the composition here and his expression, but the lighting is very harsh. I'd also prefer a little more DOF so that the texture on the treehouse was in focus throughout.

Another suggestion might be to have had his hands visible on the ledge, to give a more "trapped" feel rather than "peeking through"

Comment by 777STAN:
A "direct hit" on title & execution! Abstract "whispers" and large negative space greatly enhance the purpose as well as give the effect of Independence Day fireworks low in the sky, especially since I am grading this on July 4th. I suspect the short width may cause some deductions of points which is what I must do to be consistent. (Overall, I would have given a 6, but size turns it into a 5.) :(

Huo Pao. Ah, Chinese. A good interpretation! I would write something in Chinese here but this database field is not unicode enabled as far as I know.

intersting subject matter but the background looks terribly contrasty.
