Hello everyone!
another shot from Stung Mean Chey. This was end of another work day for these two kids and they seemed very happy about it. They danced and performed acrobatic moves before going home. They thought me a valuable lesson: Happiness is not hard to find!

Title was taken from a band which I like alot. You may consider this song ( This is your life) by them as the soundtrack for this photo.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
Cheers,
Skye

Hi,

I found the shot a little too flat and decided to try and work the curves in the GIMP.

This is my attempt at providing a little more contrast (especially between the ground and sky) while trying to retain as much detail in both the shadow and hilights.

I also applied a liberal 0.8/0.3 unsharp mask to bring out a little detail.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful photo with us.
