Photographer’s Note

Schoolgirls in uniform form an important part of the daily life in every Jamaican city. Here a street scene in Montego Bay. Despite the uniformity you can easaly recognise the differences between the girls and the role they play in their class community.

Hi Gerrrit,
Great deatail and color throughout in this well-framed composition; you're right, in spite of the uniforms the differing status is clear. Looks like a great trip.

Hi Gerrit
Ah, school girls in uniform... it sounds nasty!!! ;D I think they are talking about you, by the way! Nice bright light and colors. Regarding the framing, you did well to keep the 'Lawrence lane'(my name!) sign, but you just missed their feet by an inch! Not so important though!
Greetings
Laurent

Hello Gerrit,
A good capture of this trio of schoolgirls. The framing is good and the colours and clarity is excellent. I like the inclusion of the street name. Just a slight pity that you've had to lose part of the feet. Only a minor niggle though, great photo.

feather (49862) 2008-08-27 3:09

It could be any street in any city at school time. Good catch of these girls on their way to school. I think the middle one has "attitude"!

Dag Gerrit,

In België zijn reeds vele scholen waar opnieuw het uniform wordt ingevoerd, alleen om de merken kledij oorlog tegen te gaan.
Drie wulpse en trotse schoolmeisjes wandelen voor uw lens, maar blijkbaar niet tegen hun goesting, misschien in de toekomst eens werken met een wazige achtergond, zou nog meer het accent leggen op de meisjes.
Mooi gedaan, bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Hallo Gerrit,

Mooi plaatje van deze 3 meiden in uniform. Inderdaad 3 verschillende types. Geen Olympisch kampioen hardlopen erbij?

groet Rob

Hi Gerrit,
The lovely young ladies in their yellow uniforms stand out prominently against the lovely blue sky.
The colors are wonderfully cleary with razor sharp details to this fine portrait of daily Jamician life.

Hi Gerrit,
an excellent capture
Love all the details - In Ivory coast, primary school, schoolgirls are not allowed to weave their hair in order to comply with the uniformity social
Best regards

Belles lumières.

Well done.
