Thanks to everyone for the very positive comments.

It was really a fun shot to work on. I thought the border was helpful for the billboard feel but I guess it wasn't really necessary. As far as why I did the double exposure format, I really liked the hands on the fence and did several of just that. I wanted a shot of my son just looking up at them because I know so many of us are busy and forget the important little ones in our lives. He just wasn't up to it. He did sit by the fence though and I thought that I might be able to make it work.

Thanks again for the feedback, comments and generous scoring.

Congratulations on a great image. This was one of my personal top three for this challenge. Competition was tough and there were a lot of excellent images in this challenge. Yours is a great one. Btw, I did not think the border do anything for the image, but it was small and unobtrusive. It works a little better without it in my opinion.

Nice effect, and a great message. Good expression on the child. I'm not sure I understand the symbolism and metaphor here of the double exposure relative to the message. Hopefully explained better in your comments when the challenge ends. Nice shot overall.
