 Photo from one of Reykjavik´s primary school – there always some kids who are bored because they are not accepted in the games or they are themselves not in the mood for social play.

Converted to BW in Lightrooms, also cropped and I did some tonal adjustment, exported to PS for levels, curves, resized, sharpened, framed and saved for the web.

I like the depth of field with the soft gait. He is free to go, but does not seem to the path to joy and happiness. Haunted by the broken family, one of whom is behind those bright windows. 9

I think it would have helped if the subject was looking at the camera, other than that this is a beautiful image

Oh I really like this. Nice how the stripe juxtaposition of the gate and his shirt oppose one another. Terrific tones and composition too.

This is a great image. Wonderful use of the thirds and leading lines. Processing is superb. The one issue I have is we can't see the kids face, so the boredom is assumed by the viewer, but not confirmed... I initially gave this a 7 when voting, but on closer inspection while commenting, I think it's worthy of more. Reckon I'd give this a 9 or 10 if I had that confirmation I spoke about... still think an 8 is a bit harsh... a 9 is fair I think. Well done. Hope to see this with a ribbon beside it.
