Orphanage day out - DPChallenge Forums

Orphans and mentally handicapped kids went to a 'day-out' trip to a zoo just up the road from where I live and I was asked by my mom (editor of local newspaper) to snap a few pics for her.

Here are the results.

Comments most welcome :)

This would be my #1 choice by a large margin. I think you've done an excellent job of capturing the essence of the experience these children had during their visit to the zoo. The wonder, fascination, learning...

I like this one here also for the second choice if I was picking two.

Some very nice photos here Krige. Well done.

Doh! It's in my workshop folder.

If I move them all out to my porti, will the links change to the pics?

Thanks Barry!

You can move them and the links will still be fine. Pretty sure anyway. ;^)

LOL! Exploiting? Hell, these kids loved the camera. I had to run most of the time I was there!

Very nice bunch of pics.

However, I'd think you'd want to include more photo's of the kids actually WITH animals in the shots; or at least show that they are AT the zoo, than just wherever.

Sorry, I shouldve added. The one that is going to be published is a shot with the NPO (Non-profit organisation)that sponsored the day, standing amidst birds and the like with the kids in front of the building that says "ZOO" quite big.

These were just candids during the day.

Just wanna thank everybody for the great comments I received and in true and typical "DPC changed my photography so much and it's because of people like you" fashion, I salute you.

You got some nice shots there, Guyver. But I got to laugh at this one being included in the category "orphans and mentally handicapped" :-)

I suppose if the tiger's mommy and daddy are dead...?
