[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These people are some of the most gentle hospitable folk i have encountered in any country. Thier village is almost a half day from the nearest town and they live a simple and good life by fishing and growing vegetables. Visitors are rare here so they asked to be photographed. This is like life was supposed to be.

You certainly do travel! I do like people shots and this is an interesting one. The different expressions on the faces of the kids - a great game could be had trying to decipher their individual thoughts. The differences in clothing as well is interesting...a variety of bright colours but the kid with the biggest smile is probably in the grubbiest clothes...

Slight shame about the guy in the white cap walking across the background, but you can't have everything! Interesting shot.

Somewhat pixellated - problems with file size? and with a couple of awkwardly-cropped feet (and a tilted horizon) but overall quite a sweet shot here Murray. I love the fact that you can see a little bit of character in each of these kids, the shy ones, the curious ones, the mischievous ones.
Lovely bright colours and good metering

Hallo Murray.
Nice picture of this kind and happy looking people.
They sure will be glad to see your picture here on TL.
But that will be rather difficult, think so.
