Al, compared with EE you've gone out of your way to highlight the difference between the boy and the statues and force us to see and impose the similarities. This separaton is done by lighting, sense of motion, color, relative size. In EE's great shot we easily see what he's up to and smile along with him. In your shot, we say to ourselves, yes, there is a similarity, but it's just a little bit artificieal, the statues are hard to make out and PP is, if anything, undermines the similarity.
In EE, in addition to smiling, there is a sense of wonder at bridging time. Here, the photo seems to see the similarity as fairly incidental and drags us into the current moment --yes, there are gods and ancestors, but they are very distant and not much worth paying attention to. It is the vigor of the child, in his silly superhero costume, that engages the child, not the formal similarity.
The statues are mere ghosts proceeding out of the child's head.

thank you frank.
there is detail throughout the frame on the monitors i am looking at, but i take your point that the right side could be brighter and the left edge darkened. i have been fiddling with it a bit along those lines--the version posted is virtually unedited, just some global contrast tweaks, as most of the pictures i post here are. i do think it will look better.
thanks again.

Thanks, that you have reminded photo of EE (I have forgotten it),
however it is quite different photos for comparison...
I consider this photo more in a context of my "strange" photoseries

It's a good photo, Chris, but the naming was a distraction. I, too, was trying to find the third balloon instead of appreciating the photo.

I love finding pools of natural fill light.
Ihtisham, i probably should just have called it 'three balloons'. Also, i should brush a little bit of saturation onto the third shadow--its easy to see n the original, but the exported file is not only smaller, but paler.

I like the RGB, the cups, the cakes. the ladies, the man's hands. Someone should have told the man that his shirt could have been improved. I'd think about cropping off the right.

Found this woman trying on shoes during a street flea market. She was checking me out as I was her.
