[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this shot from Bantayan town wharf. These kids just traveled with their mother paddling the boat from a nearby island. This family might be poor but these children look relatively healthy. This is because food in the island is not a problem ... there is always food available in the sea. Their main diet is basically rice, fish, and vegetables .... a much healthier diet compared to what most city kids are eating.

I think i am not really fond of your composition in this one Renier. I would prefer it closer or use the perspective of the boat more but you capture a great moment here

ganda naman nito pre, namimis ko tuloy ung lugar namin sa quezon kung san kami nagbabakasyong nung mga bata pa kami, ganyan din nagbabangka kami, TFS

Hi Reinier,
I'm not sure about the sharpness of those pritty faces, but the composition is great. Excellent B&W picture. Well done my friend.

Hi Renier,
This b&w image of the island children is timeless as they appear very much like their mother did at this age. You have caught them at a serious time of day they must be tired. Children do such a poor job of hiding their emotions. Great island piece.
Regards, Tom

Woooooh -:))) they look sooo cute! and sooo active!!!-:))
Great, lovely scene.
Very very good composed and framed.

Lovely picture Reinier, here I have no objection what soever against this being B&W.
Thanks for the note as well.

Great candid and composition.
Dennis

Nicely cropped Renier. Softer tones created in the conversion and the image retains good detail,
