I love this photo of Amish/Mennonite kids at the zoo. I didn't see this one when I voted but I wish I had, it's beautifully done. It should have scored higher in the challenge.. but then I don't place a lot of value on the scores. It's the quality and merit of the photo that counts. You should consider offering prints of this!

I was wondering where those actors from Little House on the Prairie went for some light relief. Nicely observed!

Very good. the colors of the children's clothes contrast nicely. The only improvement I would suggest is to clone out the overhead wires.

Unique because of the subjects, but I need a different title to firmly link to the challenge. They could be searching for tiger just as easily as search for koala. For some, they like the mystery, for me it adds interest if you tell me what was so interesting I have a better link to the shot.

good shot but I don't believe it meets the challenge criteria of "Searching"

Not to create a stereotype or anything - but it always seems like I see Amish people at the zoo - I like this candid moment.

Very nice candid. Very good color and contrast overall. I like how the subjects share the same color clothing. Good photo.

Feels more like watching than searching, the color co-ordination between the 3 of them is nice. Could have cropped out the wires along the top.
