jdsmall 0 Posted October 12, 2003 A truly superb image. I like the way each child has his own personality displayed in the photo. The composition also seems great for the subject. Link to comment
cityshapes 0 Posted October 14, 2003 very sweet, especially how they are all crunched together. The tone is very nice. Too bad the boy's hand/face in the center is a little blurry Link to comment

gareth_harper 0 Posted October 15, 2003 Thanks for all the kind comments.Jonathan, I don't think I've ever had a 7/7 rating before, I'm glad you liked this picture so much.Amelia, the print is pin sharp, the boy in the middle's face is just a little soft from movement and his hand is indeed well blured. I'm always keen to get a little movement when I use my 28 or 24mm and I felt at 50mm the blur was a real bonus! It is a pity though that the duotone I used to replicate the selenium effect on the original print makes compression very messy for some reason.Hi David, yeah the kids did seem happy, I guess they don't get their picture taken too often, sadly though unless things change in Slovakia soon their future looks rather uncertain to say the least.
