Hello from critique club :)

Hi there. This is one of the masterpieces of photojournalism. Your low scoring (unfortunately) could be because of your post process? Some colors are not fitting well here, i can't figure it out

The emotion that flying from this photo really goes through my eyes to my heart. I love it.

Technically very good, composition very good. I actually like the way the kids is slightly to the left. Shoulder is completing the picture.

I never understood DPC, voting wise. I am not sure who and why those 1's 2's and 3's all about but you should not have anything less than 6 for this photo, for some hard-voters maybe 5 or lowest 4.

I would give you 9 if I did vote. And one more thing, I think this is the best kid photo you have on your first page, even better than the ribboner.

Keep up the good work,

Leo

I like this - looks like some tweaking with the saturation / curves might pack a little more punch - but perhaps that's just me. I'd probably be tempted to 'toneise' it as well, because of the simplicity mainly.
