Artists, a photo from Tak, North

Photographer's Note

The children in the Nursery School are so concentrated doing their best and fabulous drawing ! During my stay in Thailand, I was lucky to teach English to the children in a nursery school, 3 to 5 years old. I have to say I was really afraid, it was quite difficult due to our different languages, but they are very very clever and we enjoyed all together singing songs of my country translated into English.
Unforgettable experience. Children give you always the real happiness.

Hi Roser,What fascinates me most about the photo is the fact that all of the children are on the floor,a position the seem quite comfortable with,your photographing from above, makes the composition work.Although the girl in the foreground is sharp ,parts of the image has some movement, this compliments the moving action of their hands.Very good work. Thanks Tom.

Hello Roser.
Terrific photo, capturing these children all in their uniforms in an arrangement around the green pencil basket. The exposure of the light is very good, but I think perhaps it is slightly out of focus - at least the basket is blurred. Perhaps because the very large aperture (f2.8) means that the depth of field is very shallow, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it's a charming picture of these delightful and enthusiastic young learner.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Roser,
It is a joy to see children in their creative mode, I love it, I can see myself. I do spent time with children often when I travel, no language required, just smiles and laughter. I teach them drawing and math, we all have the same langages when it comes to numbers and drawing :) Look at all these intense concentration. Lovely.
Way
