Beautiful shot. I wish I was there right now. I can just feel the warmth as I look out my window and look at the snow.

Good 'journalism' shot. And yes, I'm happy you left the popcan and enough to suggest a setting.

cool. I love the bright colours of the boys's hair, however seems to me you added another element of "black and white" which makes the color interpretation very interesting. Good eye. Jacko. 9 Lacks a little sharpness.

Interesting people - very distracting at the top of the photo (top right). Is this guy famous?

Critique Club here:

My first impression was: simple, good deep DOF, no "wow" factor.

The composition is good, the symmetry effect is there for sure. Using a building to display symmetry was a good idea. However, the symmetry in this image is not fully balanced. You could have overcome this in two ways, either moving your shooting position more to the left, or by rotating the canvas a little clockwise in the post processing phase.

The lighting is a little on the dark side, this could have been taken care of by adjusting the levels in post processing or by adjusting the exposure setting one stop on your camera before taking the shot.

The clouds and sky look awesome and give your image a lot of charachter. The longer I look at this photo the more I like it. Good job.

This is a great social commentary photo. Now if only you could crop the distracting top part off and had a sharper image...
