Great portrait, Phil. I have not been too much around TE lately, so mea culpa, but it's a sahme you got only 4 pts for this one. Even his T-shirt is speaking volumes towards a very expressive image.

I like it very much, Phil.
This picture is simple but so deep of tone.
Great shot.

PS : When you post foto of Indonesia ??

Hi Phillip,
great portrait. The skin and the shirt of the boy is a wonderful composition.
Congratulations,

A really beautiful portrait. The childs expression and clothing leave me with mixed emotions.

Hi Phillip,

Very nice close-up of this kid. Sure looks like he is just about to burst :O) Really sharp with good details of his face and I like how you have added the child behind him using a great dof.

I got here from the main page, currently the featured critique is a text about an average photo that got unbelievably many smiles. I read Your critique and I agree fully; I am more and more disappointed with TE, it's obvious it doesn't promote good photos; the easiest way to get a good score is too give many good critiques and fish for a compliment.

I looked through Your gallery and saw many interesting works, but this caught my attention immediatelly; the boy has such unusual face expression! I also like the technical aspects - it's way better than the original version.
