Comment by C-town driver:
Wonderful POV and framing in this shot. The sillouhette and backlighting work very well. A couple elements I found distracting were the powerlines in the background (easy to remove via cloning in Pshop). And the color also appears off-balance (no pun intended). Color saturation appears more heavily weighted in the green/emerald spectrum on my monitor. Nice shot nonetheless.

Good idea. The boy is way too dark though, fill-in flash would do wonders for this shot if done right. The crop could be better as well, either showing just the boy and the chains, or showing a tad bit more of the swing. Hue is a bit greenish for my taste as well.

the guy is a bit out of focus, but the type fits the words very well. So he adds to the picture. Nice shot, great tag. Did you set it up or just found it on the way?

Would have preferred the focus to be on the person.

I don't understand it, and the man seems to have an overprocessed look.

Interesting, humourous. Not technically too sound, but interesting effects.

Very cool- I like the clouds, they have a lot of texture and great shot of the plane 6

I think you should have had your model stop in a walking pose, so he's a bit more in focus... and if this was a random street shot, perhaps you should have considered a model? I don't quite see how the wall and the newspaper go together... if this was a tabloid, perhaps that should have been made more evident.

I love this type of "slice of real life" shot. Seems like it could use a little level to darken a bit. Looks like a crop of a small part of a larger picture with the grain on the man and paper.

It's a great composition but the quality doesn't do the image justice. This would have been a brilliant image.
