This is an excellent image but for one element that bothers me, MCsaba. I've looked at it many times and hesitated to make this point on such an otherwise beautiful piece of work, but the boy's shadow just doesn't make sense to me. The shape seems all wrong, and looks like it's added in post.

Neat shot - I love the lighting on the boy, his worried expression, and the spiralling shadows along the tunnel!

A good metaphor for how the future can appear. Nice work.

Great work on the DOF/focus. Cool shot!

Who knows what nightmare may come out of that dark pathway, or is that the road of life that he must face? An evocative image, with striking use of light and shadow, and a huddling child as the subject. A very creative approach, MCsaba. jrdu
