Thanks for all your kind comments - here's my respone to them. Firstly I take on board the comments about the eyes being out of focus - I was simply just unfortunate! I had about a second to take the shot as it wasn't posed - the boy simply looked through my fence towards my son who was playing there and then was gone. However, I'm not sure I would want it different as I think it isolates the boy as an "outsider" re: the title even more. Basically I consider myself lucky to have grabbed the decent framing in that time. Also, I perhaps would remove the reflection in the left eye in spot editing though certainly not all of it - just the line across the centre. I'll settle for 8th any day!

Excellent concept, isolating the prop like that - not sure if it isn't a little too washed out though - more contrast maybe? - 8

I like this and would have liked it much more but for a couple of things - I would have preferred the boy to have been framed by the photo edge rather than the pole, and the girl is lost in the shape of the guy behind. I do like the candid nature of it though - well done- 8

I like the simplicity of the subject but the background's a little too busy for me - 7

Nice but I think the bin fights for the attention from the subject - 8
