[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Far away from city life
in the north of Baghdad
where bombs have no place to explose
children of Mexmur refugee camp smile
and play with each other
- in peace

May we hope that this peace moves to the whole country...

Hello Ferhat,
I like very much your picture..maybe technically it's just a little grainy, but according to me this gives it more power!
I believe these children are something like 5 years old.. which means that for almost their entire short and valuable live they have grown in and with the war! But nothwithstanding this, with their timid smiles they seems to claim to everybody their rights of being children..their strong need to smile! The stones nearby the wall where they play reminds a little bit about the environment in which they live in. The title you have given to your picture sounds to me really unbelievable..but as such so beautiful!! Your note sounds to me so moderate, simple and human that in this moment I would like to forget my complexity and undersign it without any reserve!!
Bravo!
thanks for sharing!
best regards,
r.

Hello Ferhat:

Lovely composition... you really got it !
as well as the note guideline on it.

It's kind of noisy... is it film photograph?

btw, take a look the theme Take a look the Children of the World where I will put you work.

TFS
Hugs
Edgar

... and yes, I hope that peace moves to the whole country !!!

Touching and dramatic as i imagine how people are suffering injustice by there . I love the picture beyond techical subtleties, for the expressive charge it contains and the atemporary , timeless hues given by the w/b choice . Necesito mas tiempo para ver y sentir tu fotografia . Volvere a visitarte . Hasta otra amigo
