*Critique Club*
Not being into religion myself, I'm going to trust you on this one. Since you asked for an in depth crit, it would have been nice to have some details on the photo as to your intent, feelings about the photo, post processing, anything, but I supose I'll wing it.
The photo is grainy. In this particular photo, I think that the grain works well, but may have cost you some focus on the subjects. The photo in general seems too soft for my personal taste. I can picture this being crisp and full of detail. Was the shot not quite focussed enough and you tried to hide it with grain? Or did you add the grain and it compromised the focus? Either way, I would prefer focus over grain. Both would be nice though, but if I had to chose one or the other...focus.
I like the mood of the photo. Really nice moment you have captured here. I don't know what they're talking about, but there is definately a pleasant atmosphere.
The one thing that's really bugging me about the photo is the pole sticking out of the top of the boys head! Very strange looking. Very obvious once you notice it, and then it's all I can see. when I look at the photo, my eyes go straight to the pole stuck in the boys head. The lighting fixture behind the pole makes it look even more strange to be there.
Otherwise, this looks like it could be a movie still. I picture a heart felt moment between the boy and the man and some sappy music playing in the background. Lovely moment.

| Love the implication here. Yes, it is a branch of Abraham. Good idea. |

might have been better if you cropped it at the waist

| Seems to have just missed the facial features at the point of sharp focus, (maybe it's excess noise?), and the crop is too tight to their arms. An interesting and original take on the challenge though, and has loads of potential for exploring the other branches of Abraham: Islam and Christianity as well, and how they interact. |
