Nice documentary style shot. Good comp. I really like the motion. Great b&w. Well done.

Hi mark. I like how you got Jeremia between the two fists. His head seems about to be hit by bothe at the same time, which is rather metaphorical of the feelings we can go through when whitnessing a scene of violence between two other persons we actually love and admire.

Great POV and choice of focus on this opne, Mark - the worried face of the little borther. Who is he betting on? What's the worst that could happen.
Heck of a shot!
Good to see posting, man.

reminds me of Davidson's 100th east portfolio, same roughness with a sparkle of weakness. Very telling picture, full of story, one has to ask what't in the cards for these kids in the future.
Your bw conversion looks a bit boring though, just wish it had more bang.

Brilliant capture, the fragile little boy between the 2 boxing gloves is amazing.
Thanks, Alain -

Hey Mark,
A perfect documentary feature like the ones I see in 'Life' magazines. Wonderful facial expressions, great action and fantastic composition!
Cheers!

Mark,
Great documentary style shot. Great low point of view and the motion and the way the gloves frame the small frightened child is superb. Excellent work.
Cheers
Peter
