Rent

Your helpful comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated as

always. One question which I'd really like a specific answer to:

Should I make the border opaque where the rear subject's

ear "bleeds" into the frame? I kind of like it but technically I can see

that it's problematic. What do you think?

First of all, I like this image!  However, I do keep getting drawn away from the main subject by the young man in the background.  I am not sure why you put the border on the image which, for me,exacerbates the 'ear bleed' you refer to.  I think I would have been tempted to have the background more out of focus.  However, as I said before, I really do like this image and it definitely engaged me and made me think, which has to be a good thing for an image to do.  Kind Regards, Steve
