Beautiful shot. It is great that you were able to capture them unaware of the fact that you were photographing them. It looks like an ad for a Ralph Lauren catalogue ;-) I really enjoy this photo.

It's perfect! Better than faces...if you had gotten it posed it wouldn't have been as special! Great eye! I love it! The white they were in adds to the sense of innocence that we all lose after childhood! And the boy adds the touch of roughness to add to the innocence instead of taking away from it or it being too "sweet".

I thought this a very good shot. I like the complete unawareness of the camera. Its hard to capture children in a naturl state past three or so. I dont think faces matter one bt. You captured what you wanted to share:) Lovely work here:)

I think it's a wonderful capture with the children paying attention to their activities rather than the camera. The soft focus works well with this setting. You could even go softer here I think if you wanted to give it a dream like, or Angle like feel, but that's up to you. I would however brighten it up a bit, adjusting or tweaking your levels. Summed up: Nearly perfect, minor adjustments.

Wonderful photograph!!!! The composition, lighting and colors are excellent. It sort of tells a story without actually seeing their faces. You know they are beautiful anyways. Great Job

I liked the story action also. It's what appealed to me too. Thank you so much.
Comment from Papa
Candid Creations, this is a delightful photograph and is technically very well done. Your focus, exposure, depth are great. What bothers me is that it is extremely cluttered. That only the boy's profile appears does not detract from the appeal of the image. After all, that's a view we often have of people "in real life." Here, this feature of your image speaks to me of the children's interest in something they've discovered.
Peace, Papa
