		| | Hello from the Critique Club! 
 The first thing I noticed was the two large white bands.  They really steal the impact of this shot by drawing your attention away from the boy.  I believe this was the fatal flaw to this photo and the reason it scored so low.  Cropping the white out would have helped the composition of this shot a lot.
 
 You had great timing on capturing this shot.  You were able to capture this before he realized that he was staring at a camera and a look of surprise took over.  I can just imagine that half a second later, he was gone!
 
 I see from your profile that this is your first entry.  Welcome To DPC!!!  This is a great site to really learn about photography and watch your own experience grow!

		| | The white border is really distracting, but a cute shot. |

		| | this is more like "frame within the frame" approach. but the shot is very nice. |

		| | I don't get the feeling of leading lines here. The subject is great. I actually like the photo, especailly the focus and colors. The broad white borders top and bottom don't really add. |

		| | This is more for framed than leading lines. |
