Very clever, right on money. I'm not sure I would have spotted that in time to catch it. Man, I love the subtle stuff!

yeah, it looks good, maybe if the roof was above his head, and not directly behind him, then maybe it would look better.
but it's still cool.

I agree with this. The shot would be better if the car was more to the left. Still a great capture

The yellow color is much more effective.

I'm not quite convinced. The boy is looking straight out, his feet are turned all the way to the right of the frame and, over on the left half, there is nothing but the path and bushes. It could work if you had an application where that dead space was a virtue (eg. overlaying some text) but, otherwise, I think it is too much.

If you want to keep elements of the shot, I'd be inclined to look at coming in much closer and making the most of being able to read the "badges" on his top. "Sid lives"...
