I like the B&W treatment, but would go lower on the perspective and catch more of the child's face, also looks tilted and with ugly flash use. Given that the focus is on the act of reading, the composition needs to be better centered on the key elements of reading, i.e. the childs head and book needs to be in a more key location instead of just barely trying to fit the whole child in the frame

nice lighting...technically superior but way too "stockphotoish"

The Partisan

this looks like a real accident...maybe why I like it so much. Outstanding subject, subject/background relationship, and lighting. I'm also left wondering if the title was an accident too?

the stick needed to be out of her face and isolate her from the other distracting elements in the photo.

So who said M was for manners....

the giant M&M is just a catastrophic distraction. If the kid picking his nose is the subject let him be the subject. A very loose connection between some giant M&M behind him and the word 'manner' doesn't do anything for me.

I like this one alot. hard to explain why though....the child looking at the camera is somewhat distracting.
