    Hi Melania,

    Was the couple on the left your intended subject? The menu overpowers the entire composition, in fact would have liked to see more of it. Not sure if you were shooting with a prime or zoom but this would work so much better with more of the scene within the frame. Nicely converted and exposed.

    Hi, the subject is the boy because he is on focus.

    You may need to try additional methods to better highlight your subject, my eyes definitely roam around the composition but he was barely noticeable even though his clothing is lighter than most of the tones displayed. A vignette wouldn't work and the lines in the image takes your eyes away from him. How did he stand out in color?

    I was wondering about a square crop to remove part of the right side and concentrate more on the main subject, but that figure on the right does tend to lead you further into the scene.

    Alternatively go 5 x 4 and show half of the right side figure? Certainly plenty of interest all around this scene.

    I too find myself reading the menu.

    Hi Melania. I like the PP work. I guessed the main subject was the boy because of your title, but I agree with the others about the dominating menu.
