I really like this. Something about this shot just speaks to me. At first, I thought there were too many distractions (is that a live monkey in the lower right?), but I think the cluttered background lends itself to the theme of this picture. Nice intimate catch. Was this PP at all? I see a few blown highlights in the foreground.

I am a great fan of your landscapes, but, other pictures don't quite give me the same feeling. If you had given some background, probably I could have tried to soak in the mood better. Is it a rocking boat? The expression of the girl is very good, but why is the other face hidden?

I love the xpression. Pity the other child is hidden as he/she looks like they are having a grand time as well.

I like the high key effect on the right.

Great candid! I think it has a particular mood, which is contributed to by the bright light and slightly blown highlights -- I wouldn't change any of that. For me, I'd probably try to simplify and crop down to portrait size of the left side of this picture with only one girl. Her expression makes me smile.
