On A Windy Day

Delightful shy smile - and I love how the red grabs the eye and draws you in.

Fascinating story of how you come to take the shots Gunnar - I'm still not sure you could manage something like this in the UK. Maybe in a small village school I guess . . but all it would take is for one parent to be unhappy and I'm sure the whole thing would have to stop.

Very sad - because you are genuinely capturing moments, vignettes if you like, of their school days in a truly unique way and to a higher quality than many of them would ever have otherwise.

Well this would have been a lovely portrait of Melissa - but some eejit held a guinea pig up at the last minute and ruined her big moment . .

:- P

Sweet little fella though.

Nice clarity and detail Eric - but I feel no engagement with the characters at all - it's almost like two very nice manequins abandoned in the woods . . if they had either been looking at each other or the camera , or even one of them looking at the camera this would have been better for me, but they don't seem connected to each other or to the viewer.

p.s. and neither of them look cheerful enough for Lutchenko's suggestion :- )
