This photo represents the true meaning of innosence. Great contrast between the red and white shirts.

Did a workshop. Take a look...

(one last thing - I dont think they are brothers. One of them is wearing a skirt! lol)

Great shot, Mary. I love the DOF and the balance of their steps. I agree with Pamela that a bit of the foreground could be cropped out, but I left keeping the figures in front to show where the kids are going. I also thought that the colors might be a little oversaturated. The red and the white on the clothes seemed much brighter than everything else. I tried a workshop. See what you think.

the scene is really good, I really like it... great focusing. I think I'd crop it at least at the bottom. good shot

Really good composition, nice color balance, really good use of DOF. Everything contribute to a fantastic perspective effect !

That's a great picture ! Parabens Maria ! Eu gosto do Cabo Verde...

The composition and color range here make this a very emotive image. I do wish the two kids were not so centered, but I do like the negative space at bottom. Lovely work, Maria. I've never seen your work before; I'm glad I looked!

I believe the colors are what mostly draws my atention to the "brothers".. :)
I simply love them (the colors, that is).
Althougth I like the framing as it is, the only thing that really distracts me it's those people in the background.

J'aime beaucoup cette photo par sa simplicité et l'émotion qu'elle dégage. L'innocence est là c'est bien. Moi aussi je préfère la version recadrée sur les enfants.
now i try in english : Why the title is "brothers" ? The kid on the left is a girl :o)
