"A bunch of Happy Faces", a photo from Western Cape, West

Photographer's Note

It's a Qolweni Community Settlement in Plettenberg Bay, Township.
The children in the township, they're so happy to see tourists like me taking pictures of them. All the children seem to know how to pose in front of the camera. The guide told us it's no problems to take pictures of the kids but not the adults ( man or woman )- as long as they give you the permission to do so.

Hello Loong,
Great that you were able to visit that township!
The colourfully dressed children seem to have a lot of fun.
In the doorway, however, one looks at the visitor a bit suspiciously.
Probably just need some more time to break the ice.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Ioong,
All girls faces are so expressive that you can read their emotions without any mistak reflecting their still pure and innocent souls... And you have captured exactly that great look! Excellent!
Best regards

Hello Foxy,

In the Western countries, there are sometimes problems with taking pictures of children but in Africa and Asia they are happy to pose. Charming composition. Lovely view of these smiling friendly kids.
Best regards MAlgo

Hello Loong,

Who could resist this group of children.
I love how they have all posed for you, perhaps something that they do regularly, but it is the smallest child who really steals the scene! Hers is not a posed face, she is just following the group and adding her own sweet smile!

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello

Children like to be taken in picture, but they generally pose. It's the case of these ones except the one at rih=ght, rather interrogative and the little one at left copying the girls attitudes!
Best regards

Hello Loong,
A very good group portrait of this smiling children in their brightly coloured clothes and blankets, which make a good contrast with the wooden wall behind them.

Four were smiling but one little girl was inquisitively looking at you from the side, Loong.
Situation in SA is not best living condition, hope there is a happy future for those youngsters.
My best regards,
Ike
