First Impressions: A touch odd and eery but at the same time kinda cute...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Composition: Composition needs some work...a couple of aspects that detract from this shot are the following:
- subject's position, overall, is fairly centered. Not always a negative, and I believe it could have been a positive with this shot however secondary compositional elements also created distractions.
- clock is in the subject's head, creating a distraction. A moment's pause to view the surrounding area and shifting the subject slightly so as to center between the EXIT sign & clock would have improved the shot.
- ceiling seems slightly unlevel. Could be corrected by minimal rotation & crop in most photo editing software, not a major point.
- the lockers on the left side create a good infinity object for background, allowing the user's eyes to trail off toward infinity. However, the right side is fairly distracting. I would suggest considering a different angle of approach so as to make the lockers on the left side the more dominant background element.
Subject: Subject is cute, and the body is well posed. The expression is somewhat lacking in emotion. Perhaps a more emotive expression could have furthered the main subject's presence in the photograph.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light): The black and white is a nice effect in this shot with good clarity on the child's garments. However, something feels very off around the face. Washed out and over-exposed. So that the facial features are diminished. This gives an almost eery quality to the shot, which doesn't quite fit with much of the surround sharp detail.
Also consider a zooming in to take this shot so the resulting background would be blurred. Though this might lose the clock/exit sign. One would have to consider the trade-off in the end result.
Creativity: Fun shot, with the play on the wrong size clothes. Though not unique to use over-sized garments, the choice and selection were good and create a fun feel.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Not a bad shot, but it has several elements (mostly composition and loss of facial features that keep it from making it's full impact.
-------------------------------------------------------------

| Cute image, but it does seem like there is some softness on his face, perhaps this is motion blur from a slow shutter speed? A large reflector would fill in the eyes better, provide a bit more light for the exposure, and add more diminsionality to the subject's face. |

| The flash was too close to the subject and washes him out. It is a cute idea for a composition though. The auto focus chose to focus on the walls beside him, so he is out of focus some. I really like the idea - the clock, lockers, book and shoelaces all add to a great idea, just a little work on focus and lighting and you will be good to go! |

| It seems he is a bit out of focus. Might have been a bit more artsy if he wasn't dead square in the middle of the shot, and perhaps not looking at the camera. -5 |

| Nice pose, and oversized jacket is too cute. Unfortunately looks like backfocus, sharper focus on subject and less dead-center composition would be better. |

| Exposure is OK but subject matter and composition are lacking any "wow." It just looks like you stopped a kid and the hall and took a snapshot. |
