Witaj Swiatek.

This shot is a story by itself.
I love it. Also looks natural because the boy doesn't look to the camara.

Well done.

hey swiatek..
thats a really great shot i loved the background its color and also the graffitti of it and also the point of view is intresting which is lower than the subject directing the lens from down to upove... great for u

good luck

Wow what an image Swiatek, this could very easily be something seen on a hip hop album cover. The angle, his look, and the texture and colour of the wall is just spot on. The angle give sthe power to the boy..beautiful stuff.
