I really like the curve of the road. The position of the boy seems a bit off in terms of composition, and the cut-off shadow drew my eyes out to the right. 6.

Just to be picky, I think the color choice of the border isn't really doing anything for the photo. It just blends in and doesn't really add or take anything away. It doesn't affect my total score though - just a thought.

I like these type of shots. Too bad its all brown - spring time would allow for an image with more pop and life. Nice image though.

Great concept but lacking that "punch" to emphasise the journey ahead

The curve in the road adds a lot to composition in this photo. Great title.

This would be so much more striking with greater color saturation, don't you think?

Harsh title, harsh light, and harsh composition. I like it. Very bold.

strong leading line with the road going off to the distance. I like the composition

I like the basic composition, with the road sweeping off in that super curve The pose of the child id good, but I do wish all of his shadow was in the frame.
