Wonderful photos
6 and 7 are my favorites, which are yours ?

What a huge family!!! Nice images. The eyes in #4 just say mischief. I like 6&7 a lot here. The matriarch is still clearly in control at age 96. I think a 1x1 crop on 7 would remove the headless man and child at camera right. The little conga line is sweet; lotsa life there. #3 didn't work for me as the hands fixing the dress/top aren't the woman in the picture (or don't seem to be). Too many disjointed limbs to parse.

I have to disagree with Andrew, B.D. #3 is my favorite image of the series. Whether her arms or not, the disinterested look of the woman is a great contrast to the concern of the child while the movement of the vehicle gives the entire scene a feeling of carelessness. Excellent series.

3 is my favorite as well. Those are her hands, btw, and the child's arm reaching back.
Also, I didn't crop the chopped guy with the kid out of that photo because he is part of that scene.

This got a wow from me when I saw it.

Thanks! Much as I say equipment doesn't matter, I have to give a bit of the credit to a piece of 'magic glass'- which I left behind with film - the Nikkor 60 mm macro.
