Portrait of the unknown innocent


karlf

The child was asked to shake his head for this 1/20s shot. The dark areas are on purpose.

Excellent - I love the slightly spooky sense from the child's movement in this setting. Would also look good duotoned (even spookier). Not sure how the ratings system is meant to work - is 7 reserved for Steve McCurry? - so I'll rate it down a bit from there, but really about as good as it can be in my opinion.

wow. you completely succeeded... the combination of dirt, lighting, the child's tense pose, and especially the fact that there is no discernable face makes this image very disturbing.

I gave it a 6/7 because it didn't feel right giving it a 7 for aesthetics because it isn't very aesthetically pleasing to me - but I certainly would give it a 7 for emotionally evocative, or for overall successful image.
