[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ah, the allure of "older women!" :)

Our guide told us that because there are not enough schools in Jamaica, the children in Ocho Rios attend classes in shifts, and everyone wears uniforms, as seen here. Here in the U.S., uniforms are not worn uniformly. ;) Schools and school districts may decide individually whether their students must wear uniforms.

(I know the quality of this shot isn't great - I had to lighten the boys' faces, because the shadows were too heavy. But I wanted to share the Jamaican culture with you.)

Oh this is such a cute title! I love seeing these little ones in their school uniforms. A very nice capture!! Thanks....it cheered my 'snowy' day! :)

Hi Gayle. The idea is great - very humourous. My only criticisms are:
1) crop out the branch - top left/ top centre, it's a distraction. A letterbox format might make a stronger composition as the buildings are, in my opinion, an irrelevance.
2) everyone's looking at the camera. It would have been better, perhaps, if the lads had been looking at the lasses!
Otherwise, a sweet photo and one I'd have been proud to have taken.
Best wishes, Paul.
