Comment by jsabbarton:
This is a great image. It conveys so much – my interpretation is first day at (a new) school. The child in the picture has been – by accident or by design – posed to perfection. A great title would have been 'I need a hug'. The loneliness conveyed makes you want to reach out and reassure the little chap that everything's going to be all right. The angle produces a superb sense of scale and creates a feeling of trepidation for both the child and the onlooker. This is a really professionally executed shot and deserves 10 easily. Great shot all round, good luckâ€Â¦

This is definitely a fitting subject. I can almost feel the aprehension myself. The large open archway looks inviting but the shadow and darkness of the archway still make it look scary (in the mind of a 6 year old, that is).

Comment by Journey:
Find this a powerful and compelling image. It conveys strongly the feelings of awe and being overwhelmed this child must feel when entering school for the first day. I bet you will get some comments on why you did not crop out the right wall but I think it adds dimension to the overwhelming environment the child finds it in. You may also get comments on the doors being too dark and not having enough detail. Again, I suppose you did so deliberately to add to the child's feelings of darkness and awe. Well done. -9 Journey

Where are all the other kids? Not a very new school stairway.
