One of my top four from this challenge. Easily the most powerful, realistic depiction of classic conflict out of all 200+ photos. Well composed, very dramatic and full of feeling. Photographically, I wish the whole image was perhaps exposed another 1/3 of a stop to bring out more detial in the boy's face, but that's very minor in this powerful image. Well done!

Good concept. And bravo to the spirit represented by the young man! I think the image could use more contrast--it would make it more "in your face." The low contrast keeps it at a distance. Overall--well done!

Excellent idea, excellent message. I would like to see more light on the young man's face, though.

Very emotional; there is a lot to like and admire in this shot. For me, the tones are too similar; I'd like to see more contrast. But I like this very much.
