Back from my recent visit to Cambodia and Vietnam which was absolutely amazing.
These kids in a small muslim fishing village in Kampot were following us through out our walk in the village. There is a small muslim community here who get income from fishing. These happy children are just some of the friendly smiles we encountered throughout our visit in Cambodia.

Hi Wanda and welcome back!

I was expecting your return and I’m happy to see the images you’re bringing back from your trip. I’m sure you’ve lived a great experience in Cambodia.

To see hapiness on the faces of these young girls is heart warming. I think you were the big attraction with your camera and it’s nice to appreciate their spontaneous friendship. You’ve got yourself a nice background with these traditional boats and structures.

Hope to see more soon!

André

Bonjour,
Jolie scène villageoise, ces enfants ont l'air de bonne humeur.
Bonne journée.

Hi Wanda,
Good to see you back. The children in this part of the world maybe poor but they sure know how to smile, isnt it? Wonderful mood showing us the place where they live.

Hello Wanda. Is nice happy faces among the poverty that many people live inCambodia. Children always make nice subjects in pictures and in this case they fill the composition with a joyous atmosphere. Nice capture and framing. Thanks Wanda.

Hi Wanda,
fine present from your trip. Colourful and joyful children capture from daily life. Good choice for the format and a pity about the girl in the back that she is a bit hidden. Wonderful smiles.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Wanda,

I was wondering what had happened to you... Now I know that the magnet of Far East trapped you again. :-)

You present here a cute and joyful gang! Their smiles are just lovely and it's pleasant to see that you show us also some of the context of where they live. You were just a bit unlucky for having two of the faces partially covered, which is the only minor flaw that you are not to blame anyway.

Very good exposure adjustment, considering they are on the shadow and the contrast isn't so bad at all.

Cheers, José.

:D hey, glad to have you back wanda :D
what a come back with this cute little girls... a cheerful and colourful composition... really nice, congrats...

take care

Hello dear,
I see you had a very pleasant trip in Cambodia. Those face are beautiful and will help put sunshine in my day:D I like how just being photographed by you is such a nice event for them. Kids are so candid...They are there posing, but not really posing at the same time. It makes beautiful natural portrait. I like how the sun comes hitting the face of the one in purple. Usually, photographing kids, I like when pics are taken at their heights, it kinda make them look like giants:D But in this one, I like the angle.
ahhh, they're all so lovely! Thanks Wanda, take care,
Marc
