Just returned from a safari trip in Tanzania. However, the first image I will show is not with animals but with these two happy Masai kids.

Hi Pedro,
This is a wonderful picture! Your timing was very good to catch them in action like this. I like it a lot. Great composition, POV, DOF, lightning and subjects. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Pedro
Your picture reminds me so much of a safari in Kenya I did 18 years ago, I miss these places. Lovely picture of these great looking kids, they look free and happy. You captured the moment and the shot is very good, its not easy to photograph people with dark skin in this strong african light.

HI Pedro,

You captured well some innocent happiness of the Masai kids. Congrats for this very special shot - I think if you have some time you can crop for the girl and make another interesting shot. I made only two small suggestions without Photoshop but I can upload the bigger version because the second version is smaller that 250px.

Cheers,

Miklós

Olà Pedro,
Another great capture of these children in full happiness, one of them looking as if he was taking off ... :)
It seems you made a great travel !

Um lindo flagrante!
Cada vez mais estou convencido que a felicidade está na alma !!!
Parabéns, Pedro.
Um ótimo enquadramento, côres vivas, bom POV !!!
Um abraço, de Recife,
Nivaldo.

This is wonderful. I love the expression of the child on the left, so joyful. It's a great capture - nice DOF and detail on the subjects! The only distraction is the composition; I would have liked to have seen both children in their entirety. I can understand how you would have lost the detail on their faces had it not been as closely cropped, however.

hi pedro
beautiful candid snap!!
loved the expression of the girl..
u can make another beautiful pic by cropping 4 the girl alone!!
