A good shot - great faces and some engaging expressions - well done.

I'd have cropped it across the 'biggest' boy's forehead and just below the lowest boy's chin to get even more of a focus - it's the faces in the middle 3rd of the shot that make it and this would make even more of an impact (sorry, boy on the top, but you're out of focus and not needed). I think the crop would give the image a nice 'looking in' feel too, to match the kids' expressions.

Good work mate.

Bem vindo ao Site do Trek..!!!
Boa foto para começar.
Continue....

Algumas dicas:
- Coloque sua câmera em introdução...
- Visite sempre os membros para dar uma crítica principalmente nos que estão sem ou pouca, aqui existe uma espécie de retribuição entre os membros! Observando (e criticando) erros e acertos de outros membros traz muito aprendizado!
- Faça uso do workshop.
- Coloquem sempre mais de 4 linhas em NOTAS. Isso habilita dar pontos pelos membros, ou seja habilita o USEFUL!
- Aproveite o que é permitido no Site: até 800 pixels em um dos lados da foto. Até 200 Kbs no tamanho do arquivo!
- Não se costuma colocar nomes ou datas diretamente na foto. Se quiser ponha em uma moldura!
- Comentários (comments), mesmo com a caretinha alegre (2 pontos) não pontuam o membro, só crítica potua!
- Se você achar que a crítica recebida de um membro foi boa coloque um USEFUL (é só clicar) para ele.
- Leia o SOBRE (e FAQ)!
Tenho certeza que vai aproveitar sua estada no site!!

Aproveite!
Obrigado!

haha, a very funny shot, everybody wants to get in.....
the "hard" framing serves the feeling of crowdiness well.
DOF (and sharpness) could have been better.
Friendly,

I really like this capture. As is, in difference to Rik. The boy in back helps round out the feel of such scenes, as does the one eye left. This draws you into the center. So, as haphazard as these group kid shots go, this works.

Check out Sohrab, he's quite good and getting better every day, and in your neighborhood. Sort of. BTW, I have several shots posted from the Kumbh Mela in Allahabd 2001 you might be interested in. Another minor Mela happens in 2007, I think. Get there if you can.
Best, Bennett

Hi Steven,
I love this photo, it really symbolizes India for me - crowded and happy, though poor.
The composition is great, the fact that it's so close to the kids make the photo very strong - you're not standing from afar, you are with them. Great shot!
