Children of Laos

Ok, so here goes for my first posting on here... I recently came back from a 4 week trip to Thailand, Laos and Vietnam of which Laos was definitely my favourite.

Laos is a very poor country with poor healthcare resulting in very low life expectancies. Of it's small population population of around 6.8 million people, over 40% are under the age of 14! So everywhere you go, from the town and cities to the villages you are always surrounded by the children.


I hope you enjoy my photos, constructive criticism, feedback & advice is very welcome.

p.s. all photos have had some degree post processing; cropping, WB, levels etc. Photo 01 was only cropped, nothing else.

    I love all but the last one. Great subject matter. You do best when you keep the camera down at their eye level (4-6). Maybe a little too yellow?
    If not now, when?
