i find the partial face of the kid to the right slightly distracting, but i'm not too sure whether it would have been better without it (too empty or something). yes i agree with hotpasta about the cross being symbolic.

Lesley, this si superb and should have finished higher...the cross adds so much to this image

Should have been in the top 10-20 at least

It's got a real 1930's look about it actually

I thought this was the same little boy I marveled at in red of yours! I love it in sepia! It looks powerful and wonderful in any tone! :)

Nice Leslie, The youth, juxtaposed against the cross(death), is so poignant.

a rhapsody of a photo. 8 bump to 9

Powerful image. Manages to have death, child labour and sadness all in one image. However, I think a different POV would have done the image more justice - maybe taken from lower down, with the camera pointing more to the right and getting rid of some of the empty space (at the moment it just looks unbalanced).

I would love this phot with the boy on the right either all in or all out, the half a head holds this back from being a great image. Lightling is very nice and focus is great 7

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three four now and I'm running late, sorry.

A graphic story, with sadness...

Such a beautiful shot, great composition and DOF. Love the expression and curiosity on the childs face, and the cross in the back adds such a story. Also really like the sepia tone, it adds a lot to this image. Very nicely captured.

A beautiful photo but I don't like that the child on the right was cropped.

I would have such a big smile if this had a blue ribbon at the end of the challenge...
