Karen: besides the wonderful portarit you present, the story behind it mekes it all more meaningful.So good of you to give them a happy space i their troubled life. It is heart breaking to see all the street kids all over the world. In Mexico city where I am from, the problem is tremendous too.

A big hug for you

Your notes on this series of images are just as evocative as the photos themselves Karen, just makes us realise how well off we really are. Natural colour, harsher light well handled and nice detail. TFS,
David

Dear Karen,
two boys each have two features, one is of the boy itself and the other is of the adult. and they keep adequate gap between you and them for you and them.
so I think, in my feeling, the impression of their watching you is more impresive than the expression of your taking this photo...
they look having confidence in their eyes.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Karen,
Superb sharpness ... the clarity of the image is very good. Lucky the hotel manager allowed these kids to swim in their pool ... most of the time they are quite strict on non-paying visitors to use their facilities. But possibly with you around they relaxed the rules :) Well captured and composed with interesting story ... excellent work! tfs
