Lunch stop for the driver at Betioki so... photographic stop for me!
In a small courtyard I noticed these two lovely twin having their bath... Impossible not to try to get almost a shot! They were already a bit on the alert due of the presence of a friend of mine so I choose to use the long lens to be more discreet and don't disturb their sights.

Hi Luca,
Excellent picture ! I like this bat picture and these two little boys...
Great colors and frame.
Christophe

wonderful, Lucas. it is so fitting to the impact and light-heartedness of the image that the basin and bucket are just a bout a notch bigger than those cute little bathers.... The second one is a bit more expressive with her face and arms, but both draw a smile to our face.

Luca, every piece of your gallery is a collectors' item. In my native Dominican Rep., this was a frequent scene, seening the children bathing themselves on a plastic container. But you have gone beyond, you have capture the soul and espontainity (however is the right way to write that word) of the moment. Thanks.

Best regards,

Hi Luca!
WOOOOW!!!!!
For me ,one of the best Kids fotos at TE.
Light,colors,composition... everything is perfect,but what i like most is the expression their faces.Thanks for a new favourite.
Two smiles,Leo

Oh, this is really really nice, Luca.
I can't believe it :O)
Only 2 children and 2 buckets. The light is good - and so is the natural background.

Really really good!!

Hi Luca,

I like the faces and body posture of these two twins.
They are very lovely.

Hi,
Beautiful portrait, everything excellent.
Regards Krzysztof.

Great shot. They are so sweet.

Well taken photo. Good light and excellent context. A familiar scene in many places. You have a non cluttered scene and caught the two children at a precious time.

The will be one of my favorites.

Whata cosey little corner you have here! Wonderfully seen, and very well composed. Excellent detail and light.

Luca
Une scène adorable superbement photographiée avec cette association de couleur idéale sur ce fond parfait. Techniquement impeccable mais aussi beaucoup de sensibilité. Une très belle photo!

Hi Luca, Absolutely gorgeous! When you come across a scene like that, I would get very nervous as I wouldn't believe what a perfect photographic scene I have in front of me. So beautiful and pure! Touching also, the way both little children hang on to each other, already pointing out their deep bound. You stayed very calm here, taking this shot with perfect sharpness and control. Great colour of the plastic buckets too and lovely light on the children's skin. Sublime image and a very precious moment, thank you! Sabine

Hi Luca,
A sublimely made up image with these two binoculars which take their baths in this basin, the colors are superb but it is the scene which is stronger all the same than all here.
Already ten people put it into favorite and that include understand.
Regards and cheer ;)

Luca...!!!!
I am speachless.....so wonderful. Look at the eyes, the heads to each other, the arm around the little one in front.
Absolute perfect....you are really good...!!!!!!

Hiluca, it's a great pic, the simple composition of colors is interesting because colors are very contrasted, sharpness make us see all the littles details, the points of light bring life an dprevents the scene from being fixed. Well done

nice stop! vraiment choupis ces deux frangins dans leur salle de bains très rudimentaire... mais avec une belle atmosphère colorée!

we cannot be indifferent by looking at these two children. It is very nice. The realization of the photograph is superb.

Bè...che dire di una foto così...vediamo:
-l'avrei voluta fare io
-che invidia
-stupenda, magnifica...bla bla bla
-capolavoro
-foto perfetta da National Geographic
-voglio un poster così grosso come una parete

...ma alla fine "l'avrei voluta fare io" credo sia la più giusta. una foto veramente unica, un gioiello assoluto, perfetta sotto ogni aspetto tecnico e veramente emozionante da vedere, rivedere e ancora stare a guardare.

complimenti Luca, veramente complimenti.
ciao

oh and I mean OH MY GOD!! this is too cute! As much as I try not to critique pictures, on the pure basis that they are "cute", I'm sorry...on this, I have nothing else to add - they are gorgeous...!

Cuties! And technically perfect. What more can I say?

Unbelievable, this is a really wonderful shot! You somehow always seem to be at the right place... They look shy but still interested in what is going on (although I have the impression that the water seems to be a bit cold). The quality of your pictures is great and I like that you often really find the "details" of a situation which you then share with us.

Hello Luca, this is a very charming picture. The gentle light on the twins brings out their skin tone well. I love the different expressions on their faces. One seems to be curious while the other is maybe aprehensive.

wow, what a beautiful picture, full of emotions, great composition, colors match nicely. beautiful work, I don't know how I managed to miss it.

But, while it's super adorable, I'm a little sad that they have to share this mini-tub and clean themselves. How old could they possibly be ?
