The beautiful kids of Kawaza

[sheldonc]

they may not have fashionable clothes (in fact as far as I could tell most their garments were hand me downs or left by visitors) or much to look good for but the village was full of the most beautiful and friendly children - some were hard to shoot because they all race to get in the photos - never fear - I probably got enough for a couple of posts!



I know this looks posed but he was just observing us



our village guide was very excited that we had twins as he had had the same a few days earlier - my wife asked if we could see them so he took us to his family and my wife stole a cuddle with one of them



this little girl was very cute



Thanks for looking

Hello Sheldon, these are great, particularly the one with your wife, and the first one which is my favourite, and I think quite special.
The colour is good, the detail good, the light, the emotions are clear to see, the little smile on the girls face and the look of wonder on the childs.
This has been a first class series of pictures mate, well done
