[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The power of digital photography is not in the least in its instant production. These girls find themselves on a little screen just seconds after my friend took the picture.
Jamaica is a country of beauty and colours of which I hope to show a lot the coming weeks.

Dag Gerrit,

I was curios also for you but you are faster then me because already started your posting again. Your post shows you were on bicycle again.

You captured feelings there very well. I like strong contrast and their natural poses a lot.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

This is a beautiful shot, Gerrit. I love the yellow and blue of the girls' uniforms and the way everyone is so intent on the camera in the man's hand instead of the one taking their photo! Very nice post.

Hi Gerrit, After long time!
We almost all know this situation when travelling in poor and remote areas... children will flok to see their picture on the LCD screen! In india you can get hundreds coming to look! You caught this situation well here and the framing is nice, all the girls looking to the same thing with obvious interest gives good dynamism to the scene! Colors sharpness and expo are fine
Best greetings

Hi Gerrit,

what a graceful shot. I like to see the curiosity of those nice young girls. I found a situation like that in Bulgaria. It was a pleasure to show the shot I took of some kids to them. I like this kind of communication. Very beautiful one!

Dag Gerrit,

Ik zie dat u gezond en wel terug bent in Nederland, en nu maar hopen dat we kunnen genieten van uw reis.
De eerste foto is al meteen raak, want de samenstelling en de kleuren zijn gewoon fantastisch.
Ik kan mij inbeelden dat deze meisjes nieuwsgierig zijn wanneer ze hun zelf op dit kleine schermpje zien.
Samenstelling en kleuren zijn goed samen met de scherpte.
Mooi gedaan, bedankt!

Prettige dag verder,
John.

Hi Gerrit,
Beautiful moment you captured here, very well composed.I like strong contrast and their natural poses a lot. Well done my dear friend...
Best wishes...

Olá Gerrit, enjoyable moment in a very nice yellow diagonal. Love the vertical alignment of the girls surrounding your friend on the corner. I would cut just a bit more on the left.
Groet,
ricardo

Hallo Gerrit,
Ik zie dat je weer terug bent, hopelijk een mooie trip gemaakt daar.
Het geel spat er hier werkelijk vanaf en dat er meteen een uitstekende kleursetting aan. Leuk hoe die meisjes op het scherm kijken.

Hi Gerrit!
First ofall,a very late happy new year!
Since I went digital I had scenes like this very often and I love it,especially with kids.And in Myanmar especially where nearly nobody ownes such a hightecproduct.
An excellent composition with the diagonal arrangement of these 4 girls viewing your friend`s monitor.Well saturated colors and wonderful skintones.
Best regards,Leo

J'aime beaucoup les regards étonnés et attentifs de chaque enfant !
Très bien vu !

Welcome back! Great quality shot. I love how they all look like "sucked by" the camera. All plunging towards the same small hole! Very funny.

Bonjour Gerrit
Très bonne gestion de l'image de ces enfants pris sur le vif et ayant apparemment beaucoup d'intérêt pour la photo.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement
Gildas

Hi Gerrit,

this is a priceless moment you've captured. This image has so many great qualities. The first and main are children and their spontaneous curiosity about all new, about the world. Their wish to learn. Second is sharing the knowledge by showing them their beauty captured. And third the essence of taking photos. To show and share, to admire or reject, to learn and see with different eyes. To see the world beyond what you imagined it would be. Simple work but with deep meaning.

Kind regards,
Jeri

Before I even read your title, I thought that these girls looked well curious. Well caught expressions in a well framed shot.
Best wishes
Mark
