~~Pre Challenge~~
Broken down barns, I can't compete with thou.. or was it thee..
Oh, well.. I was really angry at something and I stormed out of the house with my camera. A kilometer or two later I got to my destination which was this broken merry go round type thing.
I was busy taking pictures of this when these kids joined me. They live close by and got curious about me and my camera. They kind of crept in on the scene gradually.. I chatted with them.. took portraits, asked their names, had a ton of fun and then I walked back home. In this picture they're trying to straighten it for me so they were putting combined weight to roll it to the other side. Though they accomplished that eventually they forgot their main purpose and started playing around.
It was a cloudy, foggy day so the colours and light were hard to achieve..

too busy, too cluttered, I know I know
Lets see how much progress I've made

When I saw this pic....I knew it would do well. It captured my heart. kids dont play any more in the modern world..They collect dust behind computers and electronic games. They have become adults...Never content with what they have always looking at what they dont have or still want. Kids dont look at the obstacles. They create opportunities. Im so glad you could have fun with them.
Yay yay YAY!!!! I did not have time to look through this challenge - I am SO pleased that his did well! You have a lovely sense of the real world in your work. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Love, what you have captured here. It is very interesting when things unfold themselves before you, as happened these kids made the perfect scene and setting for you.
God is Graceful!
I like the muted, yet still vibrant, colors in this. Does that even make sense? Also a very interesting subject, tells a story. Nice take on the challenge.
