[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The children at the Fafraha orphanage loved to touch our faces, hold our hands, braid our hair, climb all over us until we could hardly walk because of all the kids hanging onto us. They did this whenever there was a break in classes, and it was the best part of the day - for us and for them.

I like this photo because it shows how warm and friendly these children are, but at the same time it shows their need to be close to other people - a closeness that is missing in their lives.

Welcome to TE, Leanne! I think you know a lot about photography :)

In this shot I really like the expression of children faces (you chose well the moment)

and the point of view is really perfect, from a high point and with inclination.

congratulations, and keep posting!

Lovely picture, with an original framing that gives so much energy, I can almost see the people on the picture moving.
Congratulations.

I love the way she holds her face and the reaction back. The angle is nice and the boy in the back also laughing. Another very nice one!

A really great moment caught. I like your descriptive note. Please keep sharing!

I just spotted this when browsing through the Ghana gallery, Leanne. This really is a wonderful capture of joy and energy - I think you could have just titled this 'happiness'. A good contribution to TE. Cheers . . . David

very well taken, spontaneous, shows the true heart of the situation.... I like it.
