Compositionally your crop is perfect and I know that. But in my shot I keep it intentionally to create an urge to the viewer to see more .. And comment regading your rating system is absolutely right and we both face the problem lots of time and I am sure some of my UF friends will also face the same problem. I also detect some of members..... This is the misuse of the numbering system. In case of mine If I get confused regading rating I abstained myslef from giving rating..... Anyway. partha

i don't know how this photo can be rated only 5.10 out of 7!!! this is quite quite astonishing, particularly when almost everybody seems to have liked the photo very much!!! only avi said that he didn't like the crop. he is obviously entitled to his opinion and he has given reasons for that too. and as i have seen, avi never rates and he prefers his photos not to be rated too. perfectly cool a. i had given it a 7. so it seems there is some other person here who rates poorly though doesn't have the courage to come out clean as to why he/she rates it so poorly. they say good things yet give poor ratings. this is not how things should be. i think UF should think about this problem. ratings should be made visible to everybody so that the anybody can demand an explanation. ultimately, all of us learning. somebody may have a good point for poor rating. but this will expose these back-stabbing guys. ratings is nothing but since it is there in UF, photographers have a right to know why a poor rating is given. or else, scrap this system altogether.

to me, the beauty of this photo lies in the fact that this photo has an abstract quality in it. by eliminating all the distracting elements from the frame (making it b&w is one of them), what it is reduced to is that apparently on the first look the expression of boy whose eyes are not in focus seems to be much stronger than the boy whose eyes are in focus. yet, somehow eyes of the boy on the right has a very different type of expression which can be felt and not termed, one of the reasons is that only half of his face is visible! now when one sees the photo, the viewer's eye travels from the focussed eye to the blurred expression behind and then again comes back to the focussed eye. this is an unique way to put some element of mystery into the shot, something very refreshing. i have always said you are master of portraits and you prove it again. BRAVO!!! :)
