I really like this photo - it's so poignant - the legacy of litter and garbage and the child making his own toy of kicking a bottle around is a wonderful understatement. The lines of the ground really help to bring the composition together, giving order to an otherwise chaotic foreground. You have a great eye - I like the choice to place the boy off-center and heading off the frame, it gives the sight greater desolation and hopelessness, as if everyone has given up.

I like your title. It takes some thought to recognize the habit you are portraying.

wonderful composition

Was this after a street Parade, or sporting event?

I don't see this as depicting a habit so much as a habitat. This is this child's environment, apparently, but it isn't revealing anything about habits accept maybe a habit of littering. Your title might be throwing me off here. It's a great photo, if a bit too contrasty. Great composition. There just isn't enough detail in the boy's face or skin.

Wow...this says more than 1000 words. Immensely emotional capture. Hope you win a ribbon with this one.

Superb image. Great use of B&W to give it that journalistic feel. Well done for submitting something original. I love this shot, 10

This looks like it could have come right out of Newsweek. Great photojournalistic style in this image.

When looking at the photo gallery my attention has been directly focused to this photo. Very nice shot. Cool attitude of the subject.

This is great work. B/W is an excellent choice to keep focus on the subject. 10

i would of croped only the kid and the trash, not the pillers
05/19/2004 03:41:53 PM
its hard to tell what the things on the ground are. they kinda blend in
05/19/2004 02:42:05 PM
This is a really neat shot. I'm not sure it meets the "habits" theme, but nice. I also find the two pillars(?) at the top distracting, but there obviously wasn't a good way to crop them out.

I like the shot but don't really see how it fits this challenge...?

This looks like it should be in a newspaper, well done. The only thing I'd say about it is that the kid is a little dark. 8
