Hello Wanda,
Great daily life. I like the composition & crop. Good detail & sharpness. And having mostly the upper part of the faces is quite cool too ... giving an idea of their size & age. Regards. Latiff.

Hi Wanda,
nice view on that "school bus" on the water. The soft hidden kids add a lot of life and the texture of the wood is great. Good to see educational efforts as I appreciate this a lot.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Wanda,

These are such rearkably Indian shots that they hardly appear a images. this one is a peep into the Indian evryday life crafted with elan and your charateristic style Wanda. With natural colours, lovely textures an a good pov.

Is this a school boat, equivalent to our school bus? It is funny to see those little eyes looking to the outside world and at your camera too. Even if we do not see very well the kids, it is anyway a good POV over the side of the boat. Is that on a canal? I would guess that because of the background, behind the windows. Well done.

Hi Wanda,

Beautifull dailylife image.
Here, near the shores, people usually travel in boats, for nearly all of their purposes..
It's an interesting and a lovely scene to watch this travel through the backwaters of Kerala.
Good shot, and the rainy mood at the time you were there is well imaged.
Salutes, dear friend.

Hi Wanda,
Funny how we see only the eyes and no mouths here, the exposure is fine, with interesting inside shadows and well rendered textures. Good tight framing focusing the viewer's attention on the furtive glances...

Great catch with all the eyes looking around. Colours are excellent.

Hello Wanda
Interesting way of transport and good capture of the children eyes peeping out the window frame. I like as well to see the greenery in BG.
Cheers
Marilyn
