Kids always make great photos. Catching them in a moment of silliness makes a great spontaneous shot and relevant to the theme.
Did you sell this one to Pepsi yet?

JIMJIM said 466 days ago:

Thank you Pixorperfect !!
No, not yet...
..but Coke is very very very interested ;-))

Great shot and lovely expression of the little girl. It would have been an all 5's if there hadn't been the cropped arm on the left...

matt said 466 days ago:

funny idea!

George said 466 days ago:

A cute shot. They're having a lot of fun, and clearly you connected with them. I don't find this image particularly relevant for the theme, since the theme states, "A photo taken through something, such as a key hole, fence, doorway, window, telescope..ect. The object you're looking through has to be evident, in the photo." As to composition, I would consider cropping on the top, since the very bright sky tends to compete for attention. The main subject is the cute girl in the center with the Pepsi shirt. I'd like to see a cropped in version where she's really the center of the image. Just one person's opinion :-)

not relevant

JIMJIM said 466 days ago:

thanks for the *constructive* (and not constructive) feed-backs everyone !!
@nattfodd : concerning the crop, i agree, but it would have been difficult considering the scene..
@George : merci ;-), as you know, french people like rules only to divert them (or play with) ;-)) , concerning the composition I completly agree with you, I tried it and it definetly better works with less white sky...merci mon ami ;->
thanks again

great, and playful shot. the crop and the white sky really don't bother me. rather, it think the extra area to the top is necessary for a bit of balance.

kyla said 465 days ago:

This shot makes me smile every time i see it. A little off the top wouldn't hurt- but hey I am still smiling!

Thanks for the feature and comments ;-))
btw this was surprisingly not shot in Hungary (!!) but in Laos during a trip I made in Asia in year 2000 with a point and shoot camera, then scanned and reworked in PS !
Now, let's see what's coming next !!!!
