Hello Albert,
excellent double portrait, I like the beautiful expression of the two children, the color of its dress gives a great tone of color to the composition.
Great light a nd superb sharpness too, I like it.
Best regards and TFS.

Hello, Albert,
Very clear shot making good use of morning sunlight, the novice monks in orange clothes have been naturally captured with a nice composition including the nation flag. It might be better when removing some UFOs on the sky.
Have nice Sunday, Hisashi

Hello Albert!

Exceptional "double" portrait, fantastic daily life scene! Perfect framing and composition, perfect timing, flawless light managment, and brilliant colours, especially the orange on the novices' robes is blinding! Congratulations!

hi Albert,
I like this everyday life scene. Could be casual but it is not because of course of those two young monks. Beautiful light as well.

A nice piece of portraiture.

Sawadee Albert,
Boy monks with vibrant orange robes, sun on the Chao Phraya, a Thai flag waved by the breeze, that rings a bell of memories to me. :-)
It's a very nice capture of those catchy novices chatting like any "more common" boy. Beautiful light, an effective compo.
Regards, José.

Hello Albert,

Obviously they start early, these guys cannot be much over 10-12 years!
I like how you capture the fine interaction, and the colour of the robes of course will stand out anywhere...
A well composed presentation with good details!

Greetings,
