Another great shot of the same sad subject. Beautiful earthy tones. I think the framing is a bit too tight at the top – still, very well composed.
NG stuff, I think...

Yes, indeed. Though is a little less social impact than the other, since they seemt to be rather enjoying themselves. So what you evening entertainment the next night, city morgue maybe :-)

Great photo Maciej.

In your photo i like:
1) The composition, i like the background colors and details, the kids position are very good, too;
2)The theme, it's a strong and dramatic daily life of real society, it's make remember the magazine photo.

I dont't like :
1)only a little detail, in the top of the photo, the hat of the boy it's a little crop.

Very well done

Its gettng brighter and brighter. I hope it is for them too. I lke their blocking here. Maciek, I really salute your effort here. Maybe I could not do what you did... going to a site like this. Well, maybe I could, but not to come back 3 times. Thanks a loy for doing so and letting us see this. We have something like this too in the Philippines.

Not using your 70-200? Maciek, did I tell I bought one too? Nikkor's? Very expensive? Amost 1,500 U.S.. But I din't bring it to Vietnam as it is quite heavy. Don't know if I will bring it to the Scandinavia on my trip this July. Or when will I ever use it. No time to do now. So busy in school . But classes is only until end of May. Then 2 month- break.

great shot, it is like they have found treasure.

I like the composition too, but in actual fact it is a little sad,

great capture though

On ne peux rester indifferent face à cette série photo , entre joie et peine.
Peine de voir que dans le monde trop d'enfant sont dans cette situation mais joie de les voir avec un sourire .
LA composition est encore très bien reussi .

Nicely composed. A little dark though... maybe as a b/w with the kids in the foreground almost like silouettes?
