The backrgound seems unnaturally distorted. This does not appear to be due to depth of field, However this could be due to the film as infrared has completely different qualities - perhaps the photographer did not use the infrared focusing scale on the lens. Or perhaps not. It could just be due to a poor scan...

But I do like the composition and the overall effect of infrared.

Composition is, well, lacking: The hills in the distance should have been included rather than cropped off. This makes the image inadequate as the eye does not have enough to follow. Simply put, the composition is cramped.

And as I've said before: It would be better in B&W. (I'm biased).

Also: Why digital when film will give you considerably better image quality. (Once again, I'm biased).

This has a gritty photojounalistic feel. The subject matter slaps you where it counts. You see how the "other half" lives. It evokes thought, reminds me that there are those less fortunate, yet it captures children in the process of learning.

Two thumbs up for B&W.

Good composition. The juxtaposition of motion and staionary is effective. Good choice of shutter speed. Better as B&W? Ah, but of course! (I'm slightly biased).

This is interesting in terms of it's composition and subject, but as a rule I am not fond of color photography.
