Please offer your opinion of this picture...

Very LIFE-like. Lovely contrast between the grotty dad in his working clothes (with spare baby) and innocent youngster in the foreground. This pic hits me right between the eyes.

Love those eyes!

Outstanding social portrait, that is only slightly impaired by the technical imperfections: The kid is a little to bright and the shadows get mushy grain. Grain is OK in a shot like this, but sharp and hard grain would emphasize the hard life these people have.

now this is great portrait work. did you use fill flash on this one?
