Boy along blue corridor, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

I was just about to take a snap of this atmospheric corridor behind Pandey Ghat in Varanasi - when a kid ran in front of me and down the lane laughing. Just as well really because the original shot without him is rubbish.

If you put the boy central, the eye expects him to be in focus.
Also I would have preferred a tighter crop leaving only the bue door visible.
As it stands the background behind the boy seems to have some interesting detail and is sharp; so I probably would have taken another picture without the boy.
Nice try however.
PS: I did 10's of these before getting 1 right
so don't take my comment as rude. I know how difficult it is.

I like this "blurry" boy...it gives movement to your shot!i feel like i could follow him...and also that the frame door is not perfectly scare!i find it good!
