This is great. I'm asking here that the artist tell us his or her own thinking about this excellent, dramatic, evocative photograph.

Good! The empty space helps a lot to reveal and transmit the meta message.

I really like this image - it is powerful and simple with great negative space. My only fault is with the left hand side, I would have liked to see it cropped just an inch more or so from the left because I find it distracting, otherwise great shot.

Thanks for the comments. This was taken last year as part of a series on upcountry Cambodian kickboxing matches. (This kid is 15 yrs old and 35 kgs.) I haven't thought that deeply about it, but I like the expression and lighting.

Congragtulations, Ian!

Wow, this got featured so fast I didn't even see it in the lineup. The light shining off his skin and boxing glove is just amazing. I agree with mtmartini about the crop. A little less rope on the left would help. Otherwise this is great and I would have rated it accordingly.
