Little DancersThere are many details the photographer has little or no control over at the time of the shoot.  In truth there are many details the photographer does not even notice until the image is printed or blown up on the screen.  But these imperfections can prove distracting to the viewer and take away from an otherwise wonderful photograph.

This is a delightful illustration of children at play.  This candied image catches the girls enjoying themselves on their own without adult direction of supervision.  This can be seen by the gathering of people in the back ground with their attention diverted in another direction.  This grab shot captures a natural moment and tells a strong story.  I particularly like the placement of the three subjects and the  rim lighting on their hair.

There are a few small distractions I would like to point out to the photo-artist.  The first thing that catches my eye is the white string on the sleeve of the child in front in the mouth of the young lady in the rear.  The front girl’s foot is tangent to the bottom edge of the frame.  This can be modified but it will take some cloning work.  The last thing I would note is the object on the ground behind the leg of girl number two.  This distraction could be eliminated.
