[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
These children were playing in the fields of the outskirts of Yangshuo, when got distracted by two strangers passing by, on their bikes, which were me and my wife. I tried to get closer, to get a shot, but they were really shy and back off, amuzed with the situation. So I just used the zoom in max (300mm) and made some shots. The definition is not the best as I hadn´t enough light.
The girl on the left seemed to be the leader and the little boy was really shy and most of the time was hidind behind her sister, on the right, as you can see in one of the shots in ws.

Yangshuo is a gorgeous region formed by growing fields sorrounded by amazing rock formations covered with green vegetation. These rock formations, are called karst.

Hi Ricardo,
a charming portrait. The lght on their faces is very good and makes their appearance soft. The lang grasses make them vulnerable.
Good focussing.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Bonjour mon ami Ricardo,
L'enfance, moment d'insouciance, il existe une sorte de bulle dans laquelle tout paraît merveilleux, hélas, la bulle éclate souvent brutalement et nous faire revenir à la dure réalité.
Jolie composition où les voit que les caractères sont déjà nettement marqués parmi les enfants.
Amitiés.
Philippe

It's certainly a cute shot of these little ones playing in the field. It's too bad you couldn't get closer, because they have adorable faces. He is definetly a little shy, and it's cute they way he has his hands together holding that little blade of grass. Very nice photo.

As you know, or maybe not ;) I don`t like portraits (exception is for my family and friends;)). I am not delighted wiht the quality, but I realise that it`s all you could pull out with your objective. With your note the image of shy, but smiling children makes an interesting story. In all I like it :)
Best regards.

Hej Ricardo,
Great capture of those kids in the high grass. I like very much the expressions on their faces. I find the light you had here also good, well done!

Lars

Hello Ricardo, I love the beautiful innocent smiles. The sunlight illuminates their hair perfectly.

Hi Ricardo
What a cute shot. The kids look so innocent and you have caught them is a great habitat and surroundings. The shyness is well caught on their faces. Good stuff.

Hello Ricardo!
Very nice portarait of the three children!
Was they frightened when you took the the foto? they have interesting faces ...
Good composition - in the grass
I like it!
Best greetings!

Olá Ricardo,
A nice closing-up approach and perspective in this moment of sharing life. Good point of view and nicely taken by your 2003 view and capture. Playing in the fields the title fits well for this nicely done composition and work by your signature. Very well seen and captured. I will go also to another past picture at your Portfolio that I like to share.

Best to you. It's Valentine date and I share in English ;-)))

Wonderful Comp with neat kifs..I can understand the slightly out-of-focus Kids...
Yet a laudable effort.

A good group portrait of these charming Chinese kids. Perhaps I would burn in the strong highlights a little. Good work overall & tfs. Parabens!

Ola Ricardo uma imagem muito tenra. As crianças sempre ficam bem nas fotografias. A mistura da vegetação, os sorrisos, acho que derretem ate o coração mais duro. Uma muito boa aproximação. Vi as outras fotos do WS, mas acho esta é a mais bonita. Boa escolha. Uma boa semana, Gabriel

Hi Ricardo,
Their different expressions are so well captured! The guy in the middle doesn't seem as happy as his female friends, heheheh...
Pleasant composition, maybe a tad overexposure in the white t-shirts but nothing disturbing
Regards,
Pablo -

Dear Ricardo,
a lovely warm portrait full of emotion and expression. Nice touch with all the grass around and excellent dof.
Thanks and the best to you,
Chris

Hi Daniel,
A simple but very effective shot of these children. The expressions are seen with great clarity and I like the natural setting, which, as noted by Gerrit, has the effect of making them look vulnerable. Your zoom served you well here, Daniel. Good capture.

Olá Ricardo!
Não acho que a falta de alguma definição seja um problema para a força transmitida por esta imagem. Conseguiu captar de forma superior a candura e inocência destas crianças de Yangushuo. O enquadramento está perfeito, com a vegetação a servir de moldura natural à expressão das crianças, as cores suaves e agradáveis e a profundidade é excelente, fazendo convergir o olhar para o motivo principal da foto. Mais um trabalho de grande qualidade. Obrigado por partilhar. Votos de uma semana feliz. Abraço!
Fernando.

Hi Ricardo

Yes .. technically not a very sound photograph ... but as I always say ... it is the emotion that matters and that is what should matter on TE ... after all we are here to make each other more aware of the world.
I like the expressions on the faces of the kids .... also a good lighting on the faces
have a good weekend mate
cheers .... sarju

Rocardo, good shot considering the circumstances. Well framed, good exposure level, and well focused on the children.

Bem os putos são sempre putos, seja onde for. E concordo que estes campos deverão ser óptimos para brincar. Ainda tive a sorte de crescer com quintas próximo e não havia nada melhor que andar a passear pelos pomares a trepar a coisas e a brincar à escondidas entre arbustos.

O olhar da miúda da esquerda é muito expressivo e “desafiador”, bem como o do miúdo mas exactamente pelo motivo contrário. Considerando o zoom usado e o facto de ser uma imagem digitalizada está com uma boa qualidade.

Hi Ricardo
Wonderful scene this. Great compo and portrait effect.
Good work
Thanks for share.

Hi Ricardo
Sublime faces of the kids, with so much varied expressions. You've caught them very well my friend. The grass in front of the kids adds that additional dimension & makes the image all the more interesting
Friendly Regards

Ric,
Foto de 2003 ainda não deu tempo desse pessoal aí ser quem está dando essa surra nos americanos nas olimpíadas, né? :-)

A foto está linda, mesmo sabendo que é difícil não sê-la quando trata-se de crianças.

Abraço
