Nice portrait, shame about the crop across the ankles.

Very nice image, I would crop the empty part on the RHS for a less centered look

The faces tell the story, nice shot. +1 for Binnur's suggested crop.

thanks, yes it was a shame about the crop at the ankle. I only manage to get them at that level due to the terrain. I did a 16:9 crop off the top and a little of the bottom to set the image right.

+1 to John's and Binnur's thoughts Shannon but happiness is infectious.

I found taking pictures of children in India and in other parts of South Asia quite delightful. they and their parents haven't scared by the media into thinking strangers are evil and should be avoided, especially the ones with cameras. Lots of opportunties with kids yelling "take my picture".

They are friendly and helpful, but still wary of strangers. I have travelled to this village serveral times, hence they do know me.
