    I'm a little distracted by the partition and the boy on the right. Maybe that's there on purpose? With that cropped out I think I'd like the shot quite a bit.

    Also, I believe it's sensei, but I could be wrong.

    The boy is the odd boy out at least to me :D

    I would defiantly crop the right side of this image it would make it a much more powerful image and would no longer have the line in the top right coming directly out of the corner of the frame. :D

    What do you think ?

    Alright, well, I get where you're coming from, but personally I would crop it and I think the image would be more interesting and, not to mention, title appropriate.

    If the intent to leave the right kid in was the purpose, the oddball/blacksheep, the image or message isn't as strong as the new crop with the master and three students. There's a bit more intensity with the crop whereas before a bit more ambiguity.

    One more suggestion? Maybe a square crop now????? But I do like the overhead lights in that pattern drawing you down which might not be spared even if you cut the foreground floor out.

    Still, I like the cropped version much better. It's stronger.

    Better, but Scott's square crop suggestion seems like a natural for this one.

    Richard was kind enough to do a square crop

    I think that's the right way and will redo again with square in mind.

    Thanks again, Richard.

    I think an audience or viewer will explore this version much longer than the others.

    Thanks again for the G+ circles, several have added me as well!
    I need to spent some time there to understand it better, like how the heck do you clean up
    your stream. Anyway don't think this Social Media thingy is my thingy at least not always. Seems
    to me to much of that leaves you no Real Social Life at ALL! :D
