This looks very much like an old vintage photograph, and works very well in black and white. Nicely done.

Nice Photo. This reminds me of one of those photos that was taken during the depresssion in 1the 1930's of sad looking kids.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Greenem2....

This is a great black and white in my opinion. The exposure is perfect.. the darks are dark and the lights are light without any blown out areas.

I really like the 'rustic' aspect of this photo quite a bit. The sense of age presented in this image is appealing to me. The ironwork on the door really sets it off nicely for me.

I have no suggestion for improvement of this image. I don't think what I see here could be improved at all.

One thing that could add a nice element to this photo would be someone standing in the doorway looking out... or maybe the shadow of someone outside on the door... just some thoughts...

Keep up the great work :)

Thanks guys. This is my third 4th place finish. I suggest we start giving honorable mention ribbons :) And no, it was not taken in Detroit, rather in a more rural area of Michigan. And who gave me that 1! Speak up :)

Nice shot. I love the expression on his face. The screen adds a nice texture to this BW shot. If the screen had not been damaged, it would have looked like an oil painting on a textured canvas.

Ouch, so close yet so far. Certainly one of my favourites this week. Great framing!

Inventive. I like the texture created by the screen door. The little rip in it adds to the quality.
