Default Bullish Boy

I thought about some major photoshopping to get rid of some of the background people but then decided not to. Any suggestions?

I think you have a strong idea here, but a combination of the perspective (which causes the already big bull to dwarf the boy), the crop (which pushes the boy way off to the left, and again emphasizes the bull maybe a bit too much) and the busy background cause the boy to kind of recede. It might have come off a bit better with the boy in his bright clothes against a more neutral background and slightly more centred in the frame.

Having said that, I enjoyed the shot, especially the textures and reflections on the statue. I think that each of the photos that I have seen you post here has been perfectly exposed -- you have a nice touch and a nice eye.

I like, but wouldn't touch out the other people. It would be quite a task, and the lack of focus on the boy already makes the bull very dominating to the shot. GREAT IDEA, but definitely could have been a better angle.
