Hi Leo,

graceful shot. You waited for this light and now you have great warm tones to make those kids even happier. Life will be hard for them in the near future, I guess but they deserve to smile while they can. Lovely people, great shot!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi, Leo. The smile on those children's faces is very nice and I hope they will find it back very soon after the terrible events in their country. I particularly like the girl in the middle waving her hand while the girl on the right seems to be lost in her thoughts.

Light is beautiful and adds more value to these lovely kids which are full of life! I really like their pose especially the one in the middle who's waving at you!
Thank you!

mingalaba Andreas;

You have taken advantage of the splendid light to achieve a very nice photo of those happy children, i hope strongly that the situation will become better for them now after the big desastre.

Very nice smiles there, I can't help but think how insufficient is the tiny trickle of aid allowed by the narcotraficking military government who does'nt want any outside influence, and even blocks internal aids!
And the worst is the idiot general in chief that agreed to international aid but came back on his word because of his astrologues...
It's been a month now, even China called for international aid for it's earthquake, in a remarkable show of open, honest recognition of the situation.

Hello Andreas,

You have served as a very good photojournalist from this sad part of the world. The image does not reflect the suffering, but your message in your note does. I join in your sentiments, and congratulate you for the low key, understated but sensitive message. I've sent a donation, but what meager fraction will reach the suffering is entirely uncertain.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Bonsoir Andreas
This photo of careless children should enthuse me, but as you, I look at them and I wonder where they are at the moment, and if they are still alive (even if they do not live in the part the most affected by the cyclone).
Your photo is for me even more beautiful, exactly by the idea of fragility which it conveys.
Congratulations
Amicalement
Diane

Dieses herzhafte Lächeln der Kinder ist mir auch in Vietnam und Laos aufgefallen. Es ist verblüffend mit welcher scheinbaren Unbeschwertheit diese Kinder sind, trotz des schwierigen Umfelds. Die Aufnahme ist hervorrageng, gute Farben und Kontrast
Viele Grüße,
Achim

Hi Leo,
A sweet shot but with a sad story. Love the warm glow of the light and their warm smiles. They are nicely framed withinn the wooden structures of the house.
Regards
Wanda
