Nice...getting a good chuckle here. Like the play of light front to back and the dark top.

I like the soft focus and sepia tone feel. Looks very nice.

PLEASE get rid of the sepia or discolored b/w. If you left the cannon in b/c and the remainder in original color or enhanced colr and submit it (e-mail) it to my, I may be interested in this for my gallery for a good price. It's old v. new in every aspect and BRILLIANT! Deserved a top-10 rating.
9/10

Wonderful lighting and composition in this one! Although the girl is the silhouette, it's the boy who really draws ones attention.

One of my top three photos for this challenge. I love the contrast of the girl's silhouette versus the boy in full view. I am drawn into the solitude of the photo - despite depicting two people, it really gives you a sense of being alone. I can easily get lost in either person's world. The boy, whiling away an afternoon, bored but intent. The girl longing to be elsewhere, even her pose helps the viewer imagine her face lost in thought. The lighting is wonderful. The sepia is just perfect, and this coming from one who is not a fan of sepia. 10 and into my favs it goes.

Why did this have to be validated? For what reason would this be recommended for DQ? (Great photo)
