Restless Hungry Children Photo

Photographer’s Note

As children restlessly wait to be fed, adults wait patiently. A missionary organization in Mozambique, Africa, provides enough food for the entire village.

This is my first time posting, please feel free to comment, as I welcome all the advice I can get.

Hi Kiley! i like the sens of resless given by the moving children and by the lower POV. Good choice of light and coposition with the child in the middle of he foreground.
I'm curious: what are they all lokking at?

Hi and welcome to TE Kiley - I like your point of view here and the way the boys in the background echo the other boy's gaze and get us to question immediately what we can't see in the frame - the sky is a little poor with this blue vignetting the top corners - not a disaster by any means but the cross over of the foreground guy with the other 'growing out of his head' is not ideal - but hey you can't always get people where you want them to be.

best wishes Kev

Hi Kiley,

I think this is a very good shot indicating a helpless child waiting for hope to come. I kind of like the vignetting effect. Most important of all this picture carries an important message across the world for those who have viewed it.

Thank you for sharing with us.

Adam
