| I like the idea, especially that the child is so off-center as to imply unimportance. The horizon is tilted though, and shot may be a bit too dark overall imo. Well conceived shot. |

| I'm tempted to complain about the lack of contrast, but I wonder if it would have the same powerful effect. Nice job. |

| Very nice picture. Increasing the contrast a bit would have done wonders IMHO. |

| Great idea but lighting is everything and the entire image just looks dark and flat, its just my opinion but I think getting a small amount of spot type lighting on your subject would have made this idea work. |

| I like the idea for this shot but I feel it would have had far more impact if the top was cropped lower so the light area was not included. |

| I love this picture, it really tells a story, and it's beautifully composed. Top marks! |

| Great story, but the technicals have let you down. Needs a clockwise rotate and a little dodge & burn. |

| A little on the dark side... otherwise a very poignant image. |

A concept with potential, unfortunately spoiled by some flaws: image way too dark, background not particularly interesting and image leaning.
Not a very high rating, sorry.
Happy Christmas ! |

| Too dark. Needs more shadow detail and way more tonal range. |

| Waaaaaaaaaaaay too dark all around. On my monitor I almost completely missed the child in the left foreground. |

| aww lonely kid, great idea for a shot, the tilted horizon is not working for me though, either keep it straight and level or go extreeme and really tilt it. Also the exposure is right for the buildings in the background not the ally or the kid, be careful what you want to center of attention to be |

| Touchingly sad. The dark exposure sets the mood, the tilted horizon suggests that all is not right in the world, while the passers-by go about their business. Definitely a 10. |

| First of all, I'm finding the tilted horizon distraction. Also, this looks a tad underexposed... perhaps you intended that though, because it does give the image a very gloomy mood. I do wonder though, how this might look if at least something were bright. Perhaps the people passing by should be bright, and the boy in the dark, underexposed shadows, to emphasize the concept that he is alone while everyone else is enjoying the hustle and bustle of the holidays. That could probably be achieved with burning and dodging in photoshop. Just some thoughts - sorry for rambling. :) The composition is great here, and the black and white perfect. Overall this is a very nicely done photograph. |

| a bit too dark, I would more light and contrast here and possibly some Christmas lights on the background. |

| Good idea and pose. Composition is weak, as is the lighting. |

| I understand that this was probably intended to be dark, but to me it's a bit too dark with not quite enough contrast to work for m. |
