hi Eric, nice picture, great kids, i like those different expressions. squared format? cropped? two small flaws: we can't see the whole face of the kid at the back and the picture is grayish a bit - it can be fixed in PS easily. anyway, i like, nic shot

J'aime beaucoup aussi (la retouche de Maciek apporte effectivement un plus).
La lumière est superbe et l'expression des gamins excellente.
Encore une belle image, Eric !

The squarish frame really works well here Eric. Somehow this is a rather unusual daily life picture. Not sure if it is the composition (the way these 3 kids are placed in this compo, together with the blue bucket and the water bottle... very interesting) or the face expressions... Good work.

A very nice and interesting shot, Eric. I like this square format, and your very nice composition. It's a bit "foggy", but Maciek corrected it very well in his WS, Very well done.

Quite soft to my mind but great composition. I like very much the way they stand from one to another.

What I find really interesting too is the level you adopted to take the picture. It seems that you were at their own level which is quite unusual for us. It lead us to think we are closer from their universe. Great shot !

Dommage qu'il manque un brin de netteté, mais à part ça c'est vraiment beau!
Le moment est bien capturé, le cadrage serré est idéal. Image vraiment très attrayante, on ne se lasse pas de regarder ces adorables petits gamins...

GREAT shot Eric! Somehow, I think I like the graying tone in this picture. It gives it a certain "rural" feel. This is also a characteristic of pure, unadulterated scene. Good work.

C'est une beau moment bien saisi. JOlie composition avec 3 expressions différentes Eric. J'aime bien le WS de maciek. Well done.

This is a great shot. you really capture these kids' expression. I guess they had no clue what you wanted from them. I wonder if they are alive today with all the civil war and problems that plague this country.

They are priceless..... children have no political agendas.... these look shy, lifting their clothes up a bit. love them! (I hope to be in Ladakh ths summer)
