Love the idea of the family portrait over his shoulder. The smile peaks out of the shadow covering his face.

Why did I assume he was a girl? My suspension of belief system is going autopilot more often than not :)
I loved this one, it actually says a lot.

A favorite of mine for the challenge. Brave. Imperfect. The darker side of life for a sibling.

Love her expression and connection with the photographer. I am not sure if the soft focus adds or detracts a bit, but then I am unsure which of the two is the main subject, so it probably creates a connection between the two.

Only the title, very clever, keeps this from looking like a mistake to me. I think you could have had nice lighting that showed us his doubtless handsome face and still used this idea, especially if you had been able to find a perspective that put the family portrait a bit more above him.

Quite a few issues with this image unfortunately which make it a low-scorer for me; the pic needs to be rotated somewhat to the right, the skewed stair rails look odd and without rotation, the angle the boy is standing at looks odd too. The image is quite noisy. The light on the right side of the shot is quite harsh compared to the dull light on the other side. Hardly any detail visible on the boy's face. I like the general idea and the title but that's about it I'm afraid.

Interesting image dynamics. Powerful sense of movement.

Too dark and the focus is not right for me.
