Great snapshot. The eyes of the boy are quite captivating. Try curve control next time to better contrast. :)

Nice use of desaturation, gives it a really sad low socio look

Focus seems to be on the hotdog sign - wish it was on the kid.

Would have liked to see a bit sharper focus on the face.

great composition. I think it could be improved with better focus on the boy's face

I love how the eye is eventually brought down to the child, who seems to be waiting to take our order while we waste time enjoying the beautiful photograph.

Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is a little below average. - 4

Nice depiction of streetside vendors. I thought it could use more contrast. Image seemed a bit muddy. Nice placement of the vending cart. Liked the angle much.

I like the exaggerated angle and the spontanaity of this shot. I would like it to be a bit sharper in focus and less drab appearing. The yellow of the hot dog sign could be much more vibrant and the boy's skin tone less ashy appearing.

i like this. i'm interested to see how others will perceive it. The contrast is very low and your main subject (according to your title) is out of focus. But it is a very interesting composition, one strengthened i believe by cropping the top inch or so.
