well done!

"Hurry up!I have to pee!"

Fantastic perspective!

It's like people trying to find their way out of the same ol' surroundings. The colors and the childs effort just make this a great photo of "trying times".

A colorful young child amid a monochrome, angular, near dystopian landscape. No windows, and a single, camouflaged door. If the child succeeds to open it, then music will pour out onto the barren streets.

I wonder which muted aria may have contributed another dimension to this moment...its volume and clarity emerging as the child opens the portal. Perhaps a mournful lament. But maybe a triumphant refrain.

great comp, color contrast, lines this gets my vote

Perfectly aligned. And well titled, too!
