A very satisfying image to look at. Certainly in the candid genre. What is most appealing is the universal pose. We have all been there and we truly sympathise with the subject. Well, in one slice of time you have no doubt captured the character, the internal sweet agony and elevated the package to a wonderful portrait exemplifying the battle between interest and apathy. But heck, the mountain is not really that high, it just appears so. Eventually we grow and conquer.

Annyong haseo! I spent a year in Korea myself, teaching kids just like this one! It's a beautiful country. This shot really takes me back. I have a folder full of my kids. What was his English name? :) They all seem to have them. (I named a kid "Marx" once. Funny cuz I meant Groucho and he spent a weekend researching Karl.
The picture is slightly out of focus, but that doesn't detract from the image. He's focusing hard enough! I don't like the reallllly light blue shirt distracting from his face tho - his concentration is key and I would burn the shirt a little to darken it enough that it didn't distract me.

| I like the tight crop on this - a little better focus would have improved the pic |

Nice expression - mixture of both concentration and boredom +)
It would have been better if it was sharper and not overexposed... |

| The pose, composition and cropping are all very good. The poor focus is the only thing that hurts this shot. |

| Nice! Love the composition. Wanting to see a little sharpness somewhere in the photo--perhaps if the eyes were crisply in focus... Nonetheless, great feeling! |
