Beautiful work, Michael. Adorable kids!!

10/7/2005 2:27:57 PM

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

10/7/2005 2:43:57 PM

Just to cute for words.

10/7/2005 3:02:40 PM

Michael, very cute; love the expressions.

10/7/2005 3:42:51 PM

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

10/7/2005 3:51:15 PM

Wonderful work Michael! Great Portrait!! Jeff

10/7/2005 4:07:23 PM

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.

10/7/2005 6:40:08 PM

So Sweet, Michael! HOw did you get them (all)to express that way? Great job!

10/7/2005 10:02:23 PM

LOL! Fantastic post-production work.
Letting kids do what they do, almost never fails!

12/11/2005 11:03:08 PM

This photo needs to be published. Such an incredible capture. Good work Michael!

12/11/2005 11:53:36 PM

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!

12/11/2005 11:53:38 PM

Michael:

LOVE IT CONGRATS ON YOUR AMAZING POTD!!

12/12/2005 3:40:59 PM

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.

12/12/2005 8:10:00 PM

What a nice surprise to come home from a long weekend and find I had a POTD and so many wonderful comments. Thank you all so much.

12/12/2005 10:04:03 PM
