This picture shows pure happiness and fun and excitement as one would expect when one is a child.

These kids were located next door to my brothers fiances grandmothers house, as our rented Mercedes van entered the premises we found these adorable Malaysian kids running around and having fun and as soon as we arrived these kids had these polysterine guns and pretended to shoot each other, not intentionally to hurt anyone, but to reinact like an old western movie.

I just started snapping away and then my brothers fiances father told all the boys to get together for a photo and they were very happy to and I did, they were very natural and happy and cute and when I showed them on the display afterwards, they smiled even more.

It was until we had to leave that they all stood there and started waving goodbye until they couldnt see us anymore in the distance.

Then my brothers fiances father told me, you have just made lots of friends.

I hope you like it

Kids get happy and friendly with just a smile or a game. And your story demonstates it.
Well done, the shot is beautiful, especially for the colours and the smiling faces of the kids.

Hi Dan,
What a pleasure the kids playing, this a lot better than always with play station or TV. You chose a very good moment all in full action middle in play. I like the houses in background through the simple but pleasant view.
Best regards,
John.

Hi Dan, A lovely shot of the kid’s innocent activities. Nice catch. It is interesting to see the combination of the wooden house and the new red roof house in the neighborhood. Good contrast and nice clarity.

Engaging snapshot of the playing kids, Dan. A nice playful moment captured in the simple surroundings, and with nice colors. Good storytelling in your note, as so often.

what a lovely time, you captured the kids' world nicely
I like their happy expression
reminds me my childhood

Hi Dan,
Now they are laughing. I hope they will do all their lives and keep using water pistols. They will laugh never again when to are forced to become child-soldiers.

Hej Dan,
Excellent capture of the happiness of the playing kids. You got them here in a good composition and against a good background. Well done!

Hi Dan. What a fun moment in time this seems to capture. I like the dynamics from the running kids too. Perhaps it could be a touch brighter but other than that it's great. tfs Dan.

A very fine and interesting shot displaying the youngsters in their natural play where they live. Top daily life contribution. Well done Dan

Nice place.

Hi Dan,
What an upbeat scene - full of colour, good clarity and dynamism. This scene could be re-enacted anywhere in the world. You captured the children at the decisive moment, full of joie de vivre, and unposed. Well done.
John

A good capture of kids at play in a typical back yard in suburban Malaysia, Dan. Is this an Indian family living in the house on the left? I noticed the painted outline on the concrete which looks like something left over from Deepavali. Cheers . . . David
