Very impressive capture of the children and possibly the tourist guide, one for sure is your lighting so well balanced here and so the details been brought out are of very fine nature while the colors present the feel and original atmosphere of the place, your composition is so well thought off and the natural framing is by all means enhancing the work here.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Inner framing with the wonderful detail of the ancient architecture and the expression of the cute girl make it so special!

Best regards William!

I agree that this is very nicely framed but it's the message in the photo that is even more striking to me. The fact that these two children (street kids?) are so easily disregarded by the tourist.  The kids are not what he's there to see.  This can so easily be any of us. But you did notice both them and the tourist and brought the situation together in such a wonderful way.  The way I read this, there are three subjects:  the tourist, the kids, and the viewer/photographer and we are presented with a choice as to what our response will be.  Thank you for sharing this wonderful photograph and for reminding us that before we are tourists or photographers we need to remember that we and others are human.

Best,

Anthony
