the white guys seems disturbingly happy, but I'm sure that the black ones were really really bad guys.
Love the DOF.

The people were just watching me take a picture. This is a bus garage in the Philipines. I had my 15mm fisheye on my 5dmk2 for some interesting angles.

Great expression. I'd like to know what yellow thing she is holding.

Is that cool! Is this some sort of car show, or just a local get-together? Processing, lens, subject all come together for a super interesting photo.

The selective editing edges on introducing new elements into the image which weren't present in the original? But nicely done. Lot's of emotional appeal.

Comment by Teafran:
A good solid image that properly framed and composed. From a technical standpoint, it's a little flawed in that the object of the child's delight is not in focus and the rather vague hand holding the object is lost in the background of the face - better DOF control would have been a plus. From an artistic standpoint it would have been a better choice to use a different angle centering the hand and object, or an alternative to that would have been to get higher and look down on the subject. Excellant use of the zone system to give the image some pop. A good entry into the challenge.
