I swore I commented on this. Way to go! Loved it. A classic - we can all relate to it. I loved his juxtaposition between the slats of the metal fence. Perfect title too!! Glad to see more of your stuff again.

I expected this to do much better. It's a fine shot, and I'm sure this child's parents will enjoy it. Good luck in the future.

the boy's expression is perfect, and the composition, though complex, effectively draws the eye to the boy. this photo feels like a classic from the 50s or 60s. It's static, but jazzy. Reality is condensed into highly figurative shapes that are forced to mingle with each other. 10

an amazing candid, priceless expression, I would have like to have seen it bigger at 720 pix and a smaller border, but the shot is too god to not get a ten from me.

What a cute photo! This looks like it should be on a greeting card with a funny caption. I love his pose, B&W is perfect for this.

I love this image. Probably mostly due to his expression. Excellent conversion. Don't care for the thickness of the border but its irrelevent. Title works well and adds much to image. 10

One of my favorites so far. He's got a great pose, and love that his trucks are in the shot. This is simple and the fact that it's b&w plus the lines in the background make the boy stand out even better. The only small thing is that I wish the bowl or whatever the object near the center front by the pool edge weren't there. The tones are so nice - not over done at all, but just right.

Shouldn't it be [adult swim]? ; )
Quality photo. Real strong composition and a B&W treatment that works well.
