How long must we wait,
Till we see the day draw near?
How long till the journey ends?
And we cast our shoes aside,
And we sigh our last relief,

When a child waits, he waits for eternity
He waits for tommorow,
He waits for himself.

Must I be deprived of my youth,
Just to wait for happiness?

-lemuel


I took this in an MTR train in HongKong. When I saw this baby I just couldn't resist taking a picture of him. luckily this shot came with his reflection on the window which is really cool!

Good work Lemuel. It is nicely composed. You left a good space on the left for the subject to look to. Congratulations.

Hi Lemuel,
She is a true cutie, but here she is worried for some reason I think... maybe something looking like scary outside the window..?
Good lines and well framed, excellent textures in the skin... Well done!
