I came across this little boy and a girl who I assume was his sister while they were playing with a jump rope. I took a series of pictures of them and they became very excited when I showed them the pictures I'd taken. We never spoke a word to each other but I know I will never forgot those kids who were happier than people who are so much more "successful" than they are.

Back to comment: Although your entry fits well in the Simple Pleasures challenge, it appears that the image is out of focus. This could be a result of not sharpening the image after resizing, camera shake, or a result of compressing the file too much (Your image 76 kb - allowable size 150 kb).
Nice model and soft colors... but the focus problem will really take you down. Also would recomend you some cropping. On left side the pipes off, top and right side till fence. That would draw more attention on boy. Keep shoting!
Man, this shot had real potential. unfortunately that potential is unrealized. The subject is too dark and the focus is quite soft (not in a good way). 5
This is a really nice image, but I can't get past some technical problems. Some brightening up and sharpening would do wonders. Too bad about the blue fringed blow-out of the sky.
