Last minute decision to take and submit when I saw this little student sitting apart from everyone else. After taking the pic I had a long chat with him, his depression is real.... so sad. Only had Picassa to process.
Cropped, sharpened, B&W and warmify to duotone. Small softfocus adjustment.

I hope it is within the challenge rules, I have to enter this, for me, an adult who himself knows the dark side of depression.

Awww, so young and so sad? After reading the description I know why it looks so authentic - and you captured it great. I really do hope the boy is doing better though.

This pic is so strong, I almost feel his pain. Great job.

Now THERE is a depressing title, hope you are kidding right?

Without the benefit of your title, I'm not sure how well this could fit into this challenge. I do like the off-centered composition.

a lovely photo. like the grain and choice of color treatment. the title feels a bit heavy for this child to carry, though.

No, try again. More DOF and tighter crop. 4
