Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: A nice shot and the isolation works well and as your lone commenter suggests a little more isolation would have made this even better. This appears to be a candid shot and whilst I'd not suggest you staged it if the singled out boy had been in blue with the rest in brown this would have been closer to a 7 than a 6 imho.

Composition: I like the composition and reading your comments makes it all the more poignant.

Subject: Its good to see the boys washed and in clean clothes ready for food even though they are homeless. Its sad but imho if the boys were in rags you'd probably have scored a few tenths higher.

Technical: The light on the boys faces is great and the overall exposure is spot on for me. Great focus/dof

Final thoughts: A great shot, maybe not something that would get hung on a wall but as social history it hits the mark. This got a 7 from me during voting btw.

I gave this a 6. I liked the capture and concept. Wanted to see the 'young monk' isolated a little more and a little sharper.

Great colors around the eyes. I wish the DOF was a little wider.

A little better focus would have made it great. Still pretty cool, though.

Beautiful colors, I love the purple behind its head. Great sharpness on the eyes.

The bird is in a great pose. I think your DOF is too shallow. The beak is OOF and the rear part of the body are OOF. Most of all I think the beak needs to be in focus. 5
