Jean Francois,

This is one a classic: simple, direct, unadorned.

My one suggestion is that you consider cropping it just the slightest bit at the top to eliminate the bit of cement of whatever it is at the top left.

There's nothing wrong with the image as it is, but taking out that one bit would really elminate all context and leave it utterly pure: two boys having fun with nothing around them to tell us where they are... they could be in a parking lot near St. Louis or at a construction site in Nice or, who knows, in Mongolia somewhere!

Anyway, with or without the cropping, it's an excellent photo, really catching that childish joy that seems so hard to recapture once we grow up. Well done.

Lee

Salut Jeff,

Superbe photo prise sur le vif, bien joué.
Merci pour m'avoir fait decouvrir ce site TE, lors du voyage dans le transsiberien, entre deux verres de vodka.
