 edit for submit: crop, sharpen once, save as - entry
It was a hazy summer day - I didn't know how to edit for cripsness - but then, crisp was not part of the theme I wanted to capture. Boys of Summer is what I wanted and it should be a snapshot view...or enlighten me ;)

It's a shame deb because this really did deserve a higher score. And look - 6 people thought it was better than a 6!!! So cherish that and ignore the 51 people who love to use the 4 and below buttons.

I think with just a big of lightning up on their faces (to counteract the brightness of the background), you would have put a little more focus on the boys.

Does not look posed to me!

Keep on shooting!

Nice shot, but the boys ended up too dark. The right two almost have their face hidden. For advance editing I would have liked to see your main subjects a bit brighter...

this looks more like a pose than a candid shot.

Good capture. The car is distracting, so unless you just really, really, really needed the boy on the right, I think a crop of just the three on the left would be more effective.

Like the back lighting - The car is pretty distracting as too are the fences and the crop off the legs is also distracting.

Nice image although it feels slightly posed. No doubt the boys in this shot would love a copy of this
