Great work Patrick, a poignant image and an illustration of how happiness is relative. At that moment in time, those children were feeling as much joy as any priviliged Western child at Christmas time ...
Beautiful composition and subdued colours.
Congratulations.

Merci de nous faire revivre cette Afrique souriante malgré tous les drames en ressortant quelques diapos d'époque.
Voilà une image qui a bien sa place sur TE.

Hello Patrick,
j'aime bien cette prise au coeur de ce camp.
Les enfants semblent ravi de ta présence en plus de la pluie.
J'aime beaucoup ta compo avec l'encadrement des cases.
Belles couleurs, a+

Hi Patrick, This is the sort of shot to learn about cultures so different to our own. Their glee is evident. Good capture. Murray.

This is one of those photographs in which the technique and meaning blend together seamlessly; the colors are rich without being flamboyant, and the emotion powerful without being sentimental. The composition/cropping focuses the attention on the children, but at the same time does not permit us to ignore the context. Above all, the photograph captures something of the essence (the "je ne sais quoi") of Africa. Well done!

Nicely framed with the huts to see these playing children between all the pools of the rain, fine spotted sharply on the children with the OOF frontplan of the hut. Well done Patrick.

Bonjour Patrick,
J'aime beaucoup tes photo-reportages comme celle-ci, des images touchantes, chacune raconte son histoire, pas toujours tres joyeuse...
Les enfants gardent la gaite malgre les situations dramatiques, t'as su l'illustrer parfaitement sur cette photo.
d'autre part, incroayble qualite pour une image scannee qui date du 1980, merci du partage.
Amicalement, Irina
