A very interesting image. However I feel it is very contrained by the tight drop. I feel this image needed more negative space all around it to make it feel complete, rather than the tight crop you have applied on all sides. I also find it interesting that you have chosen to process this to Blacka nd White. I feel this image really needed the splash of colour, rather than the grey tones is currently provides.

One of my ribbon picks - soft focus and B&W work well together, like that you can't see the faces making it more of an "everyman"

Wish it was true, but alas, many abanded and abused children prove it isn't. Nice photo though.

The photo is too soft and has low contrast, making the font too much distracting
