This is the most adorable image I have ever seen. The expressions are delightful. What did you do to them to get those expressions?

Awesome shot Michael. I love the soft colors. My only question is what was they looking at that caused those expressions? lol

Thanks everybody! Most or even all of you may realize these kids were not together for this shot, so I really have no idea what causes them to make these faces. I just hang back and let the kids do whatever they feel.

Awesome shots and extremely good editing. A well deserved POTD. Clearly a lot of work/thought has gone into this. I do however think that by desaturating slightly the background (particulary the green) and also the boys shirt on the right the amazing expressions you have captured would stand out more. Well done!

While this is a nice piece of work, I think the child on the ground throws it off a bit. He's the most obviously pasted in -- particularly where his hand is in front of the girl's dress. I also don't think he's at the same scale as the other children, either that or his head is abnormally small. I initially thought that he was the only one who wasn't actually present for the shot -- he was the one who immediately tipped me off that this wasn't just a great capture. Otherwise it is very nice, if a bit *too* cute for my taste.
