so close to perfect! the hand in the bottom left is really distracting, but everything else is incredible: expression, lighting, technical execution, composition, etc. keep it up!

Wonderfull picture. Just the blurred hand is a bit disturbing. The face alone with the shadows on the right would've been great.

This is amazing. Love the sharp contrast that forces you to look at the boy's face with just a hint of his ear. The DOF that blurs his hand is also a nice touch. 10

9. You've clearly captured a moment here. That is the sole purpose of photography, no?

Comment by Tuckersmom:
Very emotional shot, the only thing I would change would be to have the hand in the foreground more in focus 8

This is a wonderful photojournalistic portrait. There are two things that I think would make it even better, 1) Crop closer to the boy's head on the left to remove some of the dark area and 2) either have his hand in focus or crop just above it. I think the DOF might be a little bit too shallow since the left side of his head seems to be out of focus.

The exposure on his face seems just right. 6
