I really like this a great deal! Love the two in the foreground, especially the smile on the one on the right. Even though one can't really see the face, or even tell if it's a boy or a girl, one can tell it's a smiling face. I like that subtlety! The two of them seem to be sharing a secret or something. Maybe I'm only thinking that because of the third one on the porch of the house. Maybe that's what makes it such a compelling photo for me - that's the way kids are; it seems groups of three often devolve into a group of two against one, and you've captured that reality here. I gotta ask you, where was this taken? My guess would be somewhere in the Caribbean. The ramshackle cottage overgrown with vegetation, and even moreso, what appears to my eye to be an old (really old!) cannon that the bike's leaning against. Is that what it is? Also, the way the kids are dressed (or not dressed, as the case may be) sort of fits a stereotype of the way things are in that part of the world. Wherever it was taken, the "non-people" portion of the photo is utterly charming. Great stuff. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
