[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I met these kids in a street near Cebu International Port. I love them. They are so cute and happy. Maybe they don't have much material things, but spiritually they are just the same as others. I wish all the kids in this world have a decent life, have opportunities to enter school and have friends and friendship like these kids.

We really should appreciate what we have now and help those who need help. I do believe if we do so, we will have a very happy new year and very happy whole life.

Lovely happy photo Antony, and a touching note to go with it. All the best for Christmas and the New Year,

Hello Antony,
Filipino kids are soooo expressive, it is hard to go wrong when you photograph them! This bunch is well captured in a nice composition... Fairly good lighting even if the boy is partly in direct sunshine...
It never stops to amaze me how happy these children seem to be, the smile is never far away even if the hardships of life are quite obvious... Or maybe it is our measure of a good life that is lacking some dimension..?
Have a nice day!
Regards,
Pablo -

Great candid moment - excellent shot.
