		| | 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. |

		| | 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. |

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

		| | 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. |

		| | 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 |
