Hi Maciej,
Interesting shot with the boys looking to tue tag on the wall.i like the sharpness and lightness of your pic.

Hey Maciej!
Funny take - it looks as if you explained them what is written and for the first time, they really understood what was written there for ages!
:)
Good and balanced composition, each of them on either side of the writing. The house at the BG really gives a sense of the place's environment...
Well done!

hello Maciej,

Very funny photo, daily life scene but yet special. I like especially the look of the 2 kids towards the text.
best regards, inn

Bonsoir Maciej,

Très sympa ce moment volé, ces deux enfants regardant ce mur et l'encadrant. Le cadrage est bien fait je trouve laissant de la profondeur à droite. Un ensemble qui me plaît sans trop savoir pourquoi...:-)

Nice shot Maciej;

I like how these little boys are looking up at the sign trying to make sense of it (as am I).

Nicely composed shot, Very natural colors and a sharp detail. I have a feeling this shot would make a really good B&W.

All the best Maciej,
- Dan

Those two heads at the foot of the frame are ace, Maciej, they feel just right somehow. An excellent "mood" piture with a sense of place. I find your African work very refreshing, effortless and first rate.
More please!
Francis
ps Did you read my latest Intro piece...? Thought it might make you smile.

Great street image Maciej, love the decaying wall and how well the red paint sticks out against it. And you just have to love those two kids.

Hello, Maciej--
Nice work here, including a bit of the alley to the side for depth and context, but we are drawn with the kids to the text on the wall. i'm with Francis--something about this piece just feels right.
Thanks!

Seems like they hadnt noticed the sign before you pointed your camera towards it, Maciej. A nice moment captured.

Hallo Maciej!
Perfektes Foto, gute Perspektive, man sieht sehr viel Armut und vielleicht auch Hoffnung bei den Kindern, gratuliere!
Viele Grüsse
Wolfgang
