Witaj Swiatek.

This shot is a story by itself.
I love it. Also looks natural because the boy doesn't look to the camara.

Well done.

Wow what an image Swiatek, this could very easily be something seen on a hip hop album cover. The angle, his look, and the texture and colour of the wall is just spot on. The angle give sthe power to the boy..beautiful stuff.

Cool shot! The boy is in a relaxed stance but there is a sense of movement in the patterns on the wall.
