These little girls were in front of the school after class, they wanted me to take a picture of them. They smiled to me and went on playing in the street of the beautiful small town of Ponta do Sol where they live.

I wanted to share this moment with you ...

Très beaux sourires que tu as capturés sur ces visages de fillettes. Je me souviens qu'au Vietnam, les enfants voulaient toujours que je prenne leur photo donc j'imagine que c'est la même chose dans plusieurs pays. Tu les a photographié en les regardant de ta hauteur mais tu aurais aussi pu te pencher pour les prendres à leur hauteur. Mais en même temps cette prise de vue donne vraiment l'impression qu'elles sont en admiration devant toi ou ta caméra. Le soleil est un peu cru sur le visage de la petite à gauche mais ce n'est pas facile de prendre des photos à l'extérieur. Très beau souvenir de ces fillettes qui s'amusent. Bravo!

It's not easy to capture children in a natural pose when they're posing (if you know what I mean, LOL) but you managed fine, Sylvie. I agree with Suzanne about taking children's shot from their own height, IMO it would have been better.
I also suggest you take along some paper hankies next time ;o). No, actually, I think it shows perfectly that your models were really at ease. Beautiful children too.
TFS.

Oh the midgirl is so natural:-)
It is so amazing how kids love to pose to a camera.
That girls looks happy even their obviously are not rich in material way.

En comparaison avec celle des 3 gaziers, celle-ci est bien meilleure surtout la petite du milieu, à elle seule ,elle fait la photo.
bravo compagna dello apn

J'adore. Le contact avec les gens est super important je trouve, et ça fait toujours plaisir. Voilà de vrais souvenirs.

a gente falar português no Cape Verde, né ?
on parle potufais ou Cape Vertm n'est-ce pas ? j'ai toujours tendance à l'oublié.

my favourite category, realistic shots of common daily lives, that tell us a story, that capture the subject in a natural manner which touch hearts. especially children, who display their expressions openly and honestly. excellent, glad that i saw this.

Beautiful picture of the children. They seem happy, despite it is a poor country.
