Second suggestion of cropping, putting the pier as subject and the boy at the right third. But the message isn't the same any more. In the other version, the boys looks as the open sea, hope, future liberty.
In this case his look is almost at the edge so he is almost closed. He seem to look at a wall. no more hope no more future, no more liberty at sea.
But both are only version, POV...
Thanls for sharin Jan.
Oh! One suggestion: maybe try to switch it. I believe that it could do a more powerful impact (for our western society at least) but I have to try. I may post it tomorow (2 workshops a day...)
Cheers mate
