Welcome to TE!

i like what you've done with this one, keeping enough of the foreground to provide a sense of scale, but keeping the "boy" dominant.

Thanks!

Very interesting image. A little more contrast would make this image pop more!

Very original photo, b&w suits it perfectly.
It's great You catched the boy's eyes, it gives some extra impact to the picture.
Maybe cut some of the left side, with that uninteresting (IMO ;)) wall? Also, the man on the left side could get out of the scene, so there is only a group gathering around the boy? You could've asked him ;)

Hi Jonas (or should I say "eh eh eh"? ;o)

Nice picture indeed. All comments above made a lot of sense and there's not much constructive I could add to them. Maybe making it a bit darker and / or more contrast could be nice... Ok, I'm into dark B&W for now, sorry about that ;o)

Keep up the good work, and push yourself !!!

PS: for those who might wonder why I make those kind of private jokes, Jonas is a friend of mine and we meet everyday at the office...
