TERRIFIC PHOTO. It almost looks like one of those hand-painted cards that bring back nostalgic feelings about our youth. Job well done.

Thanks for all of the awesome comments. I am pleased with my "Top 10" finish. To address a couple of comments, it was a touch dark, but lightening in postprocessing made teh colors do funky things. I left the column on teh right to make the little boy look smaller, and i didn't include the school name for a couple of reasons. Primarily because it is Canton MIDDLE School, and this kid is obviously not in 6th grade. None of the elementary schools around had teh right look that i wanted. Again thanks!

excellent. great composition, subject, focus. my only nitpicks: maybe a stop or two too dark, and you might want to try cropping off some of the right hand side. otherwise, everything is really great. good work.
