    Love it. Reminds me of something Tuna would shoot.
    I do wish it was a little lighter but not so much as to change the mood.
    I think you could clone out the arm of whoever on the right. Wouldn't crop it out as that would make it too tight.
    Keep Shooting!

    I like it although I wish that knee in the lower left wasn't there and the whole image looks tilted. I'm thinking you could crop from the bottom a fair bit-perhaps just below the shadow line to strengthen the impact.

    Nice one.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    This is a daring photo. It tells the story of urban family life.

    I agree with MB-1, the knee is a distraction, the subjects faces are where the eye is drawn to, crop the knee out and the white shirt. It is a powerful statement.
