I really like this one too, great composition, fantastic moment with the child almost reaching out to someone in the shop. Great conversion, really fantastic job, one of the best imo in the last few days.

Very nice. This for me this has something of the quality of the old school European photography masters. Actually this is really quite wonderful. Your use of post is done with much even restraint, unnoticeable as post work, yet a lovely effect.

gosh - fabulous image - the tension created by the child with no parents around is quite unnerving - good capture... now drop that camera and go find those parents!

AWWW. Wonderful use of neg. space. I like the line your eyes follows to get to the back of the shot.

Kind of a dangerous shot, leaving that cute baby by itself. You say a bit about responsibility here. Nice depiction of inattentiveness on the parents part. Kind of scary.

Very cool shot, I like that the child is looking towards the door, waiting for mommy I guess.

Debs, dont expect anything cogent fom me regarding processing!

Like the 'expression' on the dogs face, but having just seen your other waiting shot I cant say that this has got quite the same quality about it that makes me want to sit and look at it in real detail

(Damn that reads harsh....Its not meant to be...Think I was just saying I liked your other one so much that this suffers a sidgeon in comparisson

Interesting shot with a couple of contradictory images...Bot is left outside the shop...assumption it is a safe area in which a mother can do this. However, immeditaely behind the boy is what appears to be am abandoned shop with papered up windows...thought..how nice is this area if shops are being abandoned

Building next to the abandonned shop...Seems to have quite a grand facade...The shop where the boy is waiting has nice pillars but they look to have seen better days.

I like any shot that makes me think.

Love the bot so obviously leaning forward to see his mother, might have liked the whole image to be about him, but then I guess you would have lost the feeling that this is a very small person in a big world

As ever great focus and contrasts
