Comment by Imagineer:
Simple, effective shot. The central composition is a little deadening but I like the richness of colour in the wall.

Comment by RiderGal:
I like this... I wonder if some people are going to complain that you can see too much for it to be a silhouette... but I think it is perfect! In terms of cropping, I think it might have been nice if you had cropped in quite a bit - I like the way the light highlights the books names and I feel you didn't need the computer in the photo perhaps, or the window above? A tighter crop (quite a bit off the left and the top) - might have been extremely effective and put more emphasis on the books, and also helped to uncenter the boy (self portrait?) either way. Nice job! With a crop would have been a 10 but I'm giving an 8 (because it also bothers me that it is tilting slightly)

I remember that feeling all too well!
The frame in the top of the photo is a little distracting for me, but I like everything else about the shot, especially the back wall.

Comment by aeli2468:
too many gray's and not enough blacks and whites for a B&W, in my opinion.

Comment by JoelHSmith:
Terrific job. I think that cropping out the window frame would have kept your focus on you and the subjects on the desk. Still a 9.

Like the wheels and pieces, but the black & white dulls the picture down so that it becomes disinteresting to me.
