[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I spent the entire day walking around meeting people and making pictures.

They were good people, at times I felt like they might overwhelm me, they had surrounded me and followed me around. I was their freak show for the day.

I've got to go back and make more pictures next week.

Hello Kohi, and welcome to Treklens!
Excellent way to start, Your photo is fantastic in several ways:
- Great angle
- Nicely captured expressions
- good choice of b/w
- good contrast
- nice crop

the only thing that's a bit of a shame are the shadows on the kids faces, a flash fill would have corrected that easily.

thanks for sharing,

Simon

Hi Kohi, welcome to treklens! I love the composition of this shot and the expressions on the children's faces, one trusting and the other suspicious. Also nice choice to use b&w. I think a little more contrast would improve this photo, to make the darks a little darker.

Thanks for sharing!

this is what i was talking about brother!!! you see.. you get lots of good comments here on TE...

welcome! and this is a good photo to start your album with!!

Hello Kohi,

Great work. Are you a photojournalist?. Your picture has that PJ touch. Anyway I would like to see more of your work. You did not mention what camera are you using? (though that does not make a slightest bit of difference). However me being a equipment freak would be interested in knowning. What I like:
- Composition
- Attitude
- lighting
What in humble opinion can be improved:
- A little bit of contrast, maybe using levels or layers in PS.
Good work and I look forward to more postings.
Sadaqat

amazing composition
it's briliant in composition!!!

I like the POV here, as you have captured them on their innocent look and inquisitive eyes. Such a joy to photograpph kids. Cheers always Kohi.

Thanks/Salamat,
Jeff
