[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The London Musem is a very small museum, focused on the history of this city. There was a class of 101 years old children with their teacher. I tried to capture them inside the museum but it was too dark and I could not find a good angle.
Disapointed, I went out, and then, from the outside I saw these young students sitting by the window and listen to their teacher's speech. This was my last chance, and here is the result.

This is good Yitzhak - the reflection of the nearby buildings adds interest, then you have the kids on the inside, looking quite captivated and unaffected by things going on outside. Looks as though they are interacting with their hands in the air. Nice to see they still wear uniforms... Well seen.

Very beautiful and neat composition with many levels of refletion. I like the way you didn't try to put any line straight, very dynamic. Good contrast between the blue shirts and the greenish reflections. Good work!

I like this shot, Yitzhak, especially how the panes break the shot in three almost, but not quite, equal pieces. I also like how you can tell the kids are not quite sitting still just by seeing a bit of their hands peeking through.

Hm 101 years old ;-))

Yes - Everybody who visit London simply must take notice of all those schoolkids in uniform.

Very fine and different angle your chosen for this shot - works excellent Yitzhak.

Very fine result indeed.

Perhaps that a polarizing filter could have been useful here. It does not matter, I really like this kind of "portrait", taken without the total knowledge of the subjects. I think that here, the fact that children are the subject, who themselves are often "mischievous", make this image even more interesting. Well seen!

A small cleaning of dust on the photograph could be made as well as a light correction of distortion.

Peut-être qu'un filtre polarisant aurait pu être utile ici.
Peu importe, j'adore ce genre de "portrait", pris à l'insu total des sujets. Je pense qu'ici, le fait que cela soit des enfants, qui eux-mêmes sont souvent "espiègle", rends cette image encore plus intéressante.
Bien vu!
PS Un petit nettoyage de poussière sur la photo pourrait être fait ainsi qu'une légère correction de distortion.

I like photos from behind; it gives a kind of symbolic quality to the subject. Here, it works, too. Bright kids in a dark space being natural. Nice.

Te last but not the least. I really enjoy that moment , in wich you were out of the scene but capturing the kid's deep conviction. Great job.
