On Children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Hola Mirari.
Me gusta la idea de usar blanco y negro pero creo que una vista horizontal le convendría más. Así, jugando con su horizontalidad y su profundidad mejoraríamos el resultado.
Carlos.

Hi Mirari,
You got a very kind image with the little group of children immersed in a conversation. The clothes of these kids are quite interesting, like if they were adults... The shoes, the bow-tie... quite elegant. I agree with coco in that maybe you should have given a bit more room to the children, the boy on the left seems to be a bit tight in the frame. I may have also tried to give a bit more contrast, but this is a question of taste. The kids look adorable. Good note too!
All the best,
Andre

Hi Mirari
Great composition in this pov of fine B&W resolution and contrast.
You captured their busy moment of engrossed conversation. Looks like a family from tall to short order.
Nice work, Mirari and TFS
