Beautiful detail, I love the little closed eye...I hope the little guy got home okay! This really is lovely, surprised it didn't place higher.

This is marvelous! What a poignant and sweet shot. I love the crop/composition and the very simple post processing - it keeps it clean and real.

Beautiful focus - I feel so bad for the poor little guy! This image really knocks the concept of "solo" right out of the ballpark - surprised that it didn't do better. Great job.

I am surprised this did not score higher. The composition, DOF, and focus is amazing. This is such an emotional pic and I just feel sad for the little one. I think it's a great photo.

extremely sharp and crisp and love the black and white it really seems to work well. I just almost wish he/she had their eyes open as i think this would have been potentially more dramatic but it's good all the same 7
