A Boy and His Violin...

Hello Jennifer,

This photo has lots of potential, and you managed to catch the boy in a beautiful pose. However, the composition needs a little tweaking in my honest opinion and I have cropped the image from the left and from the top, and I feel this image is much more powerful in B & W. I am attaching a file to show what I mean. I also cloned out the the items on the middle left and middle right of the image, which I find distracting. I also adjusted the B & W tonaltity in Photshop CS4 Image>Adjustments>Curves. Should you need any help please let me know and I would gladly assist from what I know. Please let me know what you think. Best regards.

BR,
