Is 1841 the year those two were born?

Seriously now, what a pair of faces they have! Fantastic stuff. I'm in two minds about the broom, and I would have preferred it without the kid and his very bright Ben 10 t-shirt, but it's still a compelling image. Nicely done

Thanks for the comment. I left room on the right for the boy to look into & the broom adds some context IMO.

His shirt was an orange I think but became white when I extracted the red channel. This seemed appropriate to me as he is the centre of attention & knows it but he is looking elsewhere.

Regards, Ian.

You have got Talent but some of your photos are so sad I know you will say that’s the affect you wanted but I don’t know ? to see these photos that you have taken shows a very dark side.
the photos are very good but also very sad i hope you don’t mind me saying so .
playing firm but fair all the way
