Yeah, I agree. B&W far better for this. I find it funny some of teh comments below about cropping out the durex machine, that fopr me really makes it, another agonising decision for a young girl.......! Great. I'm really surprised this one was rejected, I far as I can see it appears that 1x prefers a story to a technically brilliant photo, this has such a story.....! |

Interesting shot in front of the condom machine. Not totally sure what the intended message is here, except maybe to make me think. Since I have two daughters, the message I get is to lock them up to keep them safe until they are legal age. (Which in my house is 30.) |

Candide, I suppose!
It's interesting to see in a single photo some aspects of adolescence: the look between rebel and garçonne of the one looking to the viewer, the other girl watching herself in a mirror, even the condom vending machine.
I like the black and white, it's more powerful in this case.
My vote : 8 |

Excellent capture. All the right elements come together to make this an image with a real message and story. The young adolescent girls, the Durex dispensing machine on the wall, the intense direct look from the young girl into the camera. The reflection of the other girls face.And the black and white work is excellent too. Perfect exposure. 8 |

My fist thought was that I'd like it composed off center, but I don't think so after all. The condom machine definitely adds to the interest, as well as gives my mind absolute placement of the scene. Nicely done, and great tonal range with the BW conversion. |

This is an immensely clever photograph; a photograph that is both of something and about that same thing. Sort of documentary and editorial at the same time. Alas it will likely be pitifully underestimated. 9. |

You've really caught the notion of youth. Part grown up, part afraid of growing up. Trying so hard with so little to try with. And trying out attitude. Well captured and presented. |
