Love the face under the big hat, the hands at that glimpse of passerby's leg, all to indicate the boy's moment.

I love the blur... it makes me feel more into the shot, his face is kind of dead-pan, so it really brings the life back into the shot for me.

Wow, I've inspired someone! Good job. Speaking in general, I think this technique needs to be applied judiciously. A little goes a long way, I'm discovering, and a lot of folks (I'm also discovering) consider it cheesy. I think it works here -- if anything it's a good study in cross-processing.

That aside, this seems to lack a little bit of texture -- like maybe too much noise reduction was applied. Or maybe the focus is just soft.

I like the motion in this. Interesting BW processing -- I'll have to read Saker's tutrial.
