Doesn't really grab me (the picture, not the story).
the lighting doesn't really add anything to her and her eyes are almost hidden.

Great composition, I like how it's only the boy and the tree and the monotone throughout looks great.

Creative photograph! Nice simple composition with no distracting background elements. I wish his face and the phone were illuminated better though, his back and the near side of his head tend to take the viewer's eye away from what he is doing, and there is a near-total loss of detail due to the underexposure in his face. But still one the top images in the challenge.
