Haha! Thank you for that precise observation. I never saw that and now I cannot unsee it! :)

Thanks for your critique. Good to know that there wasn't a lot of wrongs with the image. Perhaps street photography is a bit tough to outscore the landscape long exposures that crowd the free studies.

*Hello from the Critique Club*

The first thing that hits me with this image is the coloured wall, followed by the menu then the children.

A great slice of everyday life in a downtown suburb of the East, in this case India, if it weren't for the lovely local script this could be anywhere except that Momo etc are not readily available in my local vicinity!

I like the candid nature of the shot the children appear to be unaware of the camera and therefore naturally involved in their own moment. The colours are all very strong, I also like the way the colours from the writing are repeated in the children's clothes. I love the child's too big pink shoes!

I don't know if you've enhanced the children's faces but they stand out from their surroundings in a natural appealing sort of way. The only minor criticism of the children is that the action he is making with the scissors being so close to the back of the child's head make it look as though he is cutting her hair.

Altogether an appealing and natural moment in time well captured, reflected in the votes it received.

I like the composition, the poses of the children, the looks down and sideways.

Wonderful colors. And orange Fanta, to match her jacket.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

I like this little slice of life that shows these two children at this colorful market.
