Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2005 12:42 pmPosted: Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:06 pmThis is AWESOME!! Love it... there is just so much to like about this shot for me. But most of all it's the expressions you've captured! An absolute rippa IMHO. Well done. So what's the story behind this shot Taro ?
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:34 pmTaro, looks good, will look even better printed. A real aussie beach shot, faint echoes of Dupain.
Sad thing is these shots may be a thing of the past in the future, with some idiot claiming it was a topless pic of a group of underage girls.

Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:37 pmThat is one excellent picture. The facial expression of the girl not laughing with the girl who is and the one in the background undecided. Great!
Shading and tones are excellent to. B&W images often look good, this looks great.
Nice!

I'd too be keen to know what the story was behind this shot.
Well done!

This picture was taken 6 weeks ago on the island of Koh Tao, Thailand. The Japanese boy on the right, Yura, is 2 and a half years old and the Israeli twins are 3. It was really nice playing with these kids because although none of us could understand a word the other said, we were able to communicate through gestures and laughter.
Yura, is one of the happiest kids I've ever met and every now and then for no reason whatsoever he would just burst into spontaneous laughter. I just happened to capture one of these events after they had managed to climb a 5 foot high coconut tree stump!! The girl in the middle just seemed perplexed at Yura's sudden outburst while her twin sister was as always just very shy.

"Hey check this out!! The girl next to me has a tree growing out of her head!!"

THis is simply wonderful.
The expression in the laughing girls face is terrific. My only nit pick is the tree. I might be tempted to clone it out, but other than that, excellent.

Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2005 5:07 pmAmazing full of expression and taken masterfully,on par with reportage in National Geographic
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2005 5:28 pmJust having another (closer) look:
On my laptop monitor the girl's chest in the middle and the boy's (on the right)has a funny pattern to it. Have you done some extra sharpening on this image? Can anyone else see what I'm talking about?
