Are Dual and multiple the samething? I appologize if I'm too picky! Other than that, very good photo!

I really like this photo - it's so poignant - the legacy of litter and garbage and the child making his own toy of kicking a bottle around is a wonderful understatement. The lines of the ground really help to bring the composition together, giving order to an otherwise chaotic foreground. You have a great eye - I like the choice to place the boy off-center and heading off the frame, it gives the sight greater desolation and hopelessness, as if everyone has given up.

I like your title. It takes some thought to recognize the habit you are portraying.

Was this after a street Parade, or sporting event?

I don't see this as depicting a habit so much as a habitat. This is this child's environment, apparently, but it isn't revealing anything about habits accept maybe a habit of littering. Your title might be throwing me off here. It's a great photo, if a bit too contrasty. Great composition. There just isn't enough detail in the boy's face or skin.

This looks like it could have come right out of Newsweek. Great photojournalistic style in this image.
