I truly thought this would be in the top 3. I gave it a 10. It's a work of art.

I was looking at your outtakes: you made the right choice!
The lad is adorable, I like his look and how the suspenders came down - that's not visible in the other pictures.
Although a brick wall is most suitable for a chimney sweeper I agree that it might have been less dominant. Also I don't like that his half-cropped shadow .. either the whole shaodow or completely cropped where the body starts at the bottom of the wall (sorry don't know how to describe it better)
The smiling outtake has it's charm too, but I like this one best. Well done of you and your patient model!

This is wonderful!

I agree that the bricks aren't as good... (maybe less DOF?) but... it's wonderful!

He comes right out of a Laurel & Hardy movie. Great funny portrait.
Top 3. A 9 from me.
