Hello from the Crtique Club

First Impression: An interesting group of young people waisting away a summer day walking the tracks. I like the open ended story. It let's my mind wander.

Composition: As is, good. I think it may have been made stronger by extending the top right of the frame to get a vanishing point from the tracks. I believe that would add more to the story that you have begun. I see that you are shooting with the 5DmkII, so I presume that this was with the 24-105L. 24-30mm would have captured more track. However, it is quite possible that there are buildings, etc, beyond the trees, and a wider perspective would have ruined the scene.

DOF/Exposure: It appears you were shooting in low light or shade given the ISO. With that shutter speed I believe you could have extended the depth of field to bring in more of the 3 child. However, this may not have been your intent, but he seems stuck somewhere in between the foreground and background. Overall the image seems to have strong contrast on the kids. Maybe a bit brighter.

Overall, I like this photograph, there is a great story here, and I love the open ended quality.

Good luck with your next entry!

Cheers,

Ben

Looks like a drug deal. Just kidding. Very interesting image. Makes me feel sad, though I know they were just having fun. The emotion I get is of being on the run orphans with nobody but themselves to take care of each other. Wonderful emotion created with this seemingly simple image.

Wow is that dangerous. Good capture and I hope you told them to move.
