Very nice shot Ishai, always nice to see kids being so happy. Couple of things I would prefer, something on the road to anchor the compostion on the left, and more contrast. Other than that this is a very nice daily life image.

Selamat Pagi! wonderful shot! the faces and postures are just great. it looks good in b/w and the composition is good as well. nice job. and thanks for the lesson in phrases.

beautiful composition. Great lighting too. great portrait of some cute kids. JP

Hi Ishai, lovely pic and so very recognizable for me! The joy & slightly mocking enthusiasm splashes from this capture. Because of the composition it's also a fine travel pic. Love it. And thanx for the small freshing up course of BI :-)

There is something simple and nice about this picture. May be it’s the innocence of those kids. You probably made their day by taking this picture
