Nice photo, the image is grainy, but maybe you meant it to be grainy.

You know, this portrait may or may not represent poverty, qualify for challenges, yada, yada. It doesn't even matter. This is a 10 from me without even thinking. I'd give this a 20 if i could. Bravo.

Did you think to open the right side up to a white space? White outerrim of border is too thick. Good dof.

Comment by nordicgirl:
Really like this point of view. Good DOF. Just somehow feels to crop these white parts off.

Comment by redmoon:
yes. i'd say this fits pretty well. i'd say the orientation is perhaps not best suited for this sort of picture for two reasons; one is that ones eyes are drawn towards the right, which ends abruptly, and second is the expanse of white in the corners kind of unbalances the overall shot. that minor compliant aside, i think this is brilliant - i love how bold the black and red looks at the core of the shot, and the subject matter though not obvious in the street, fits the implied line thing very well. good thinking and well executed. 8.

Comment by Justin Evans:
Deeper focus would help this photo significantly. Excellent subject matter, however.
