The hard question about this shot, do you make the processing "nice" or do you not? It could probably use a bit more PP, but the capture of his eyes is what really makes the shot. 7

Comment by Mephisto:
the title seems too banal and suggestive for this kind of image, but i guess in your position i would have had the same trouble in finding an appropriate title.
anyways, it's a moving (if not for me heart breaking, but rather very raw and authentic) photograph, that depict a certain moment and emotion really well. it reminded me on the blue ribbon image of the movie titles challenge...
thanks for sharing it!

Interesing composition........Not really sure what to think about this. It goes against all rules of thumb etc to to with Photography, yet somehow it, to some extent, works.
I have been rather critical of people who shoehorned in landscapes, yet this photo, and its composition, makes me think it was taken with the challenge in mind.......
This light is good, the colours are spot on. There is still a lot of sky in the photo, and little else. Would have been great if the back of the sky was not completely clouded, but you can't fix nature.
Still can't make up my mind on this, I can't see it being as effective with more foreground. I am sure you are going to get people bagging you for the lack of it though. I've talked myself into it, well done, you have made me think, and the composition is very effective.

Nice pic but doesn't really have anything to do with Art R., IMO.
