I can't put my finger on why. . .but this photo reeeeeally grabs me! I think it's the composition that speaks of childhood. Innocence. Nostalgia. Where if you showed the face, it would be about the person. Awesome job. I just love it.
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.
