Playing with Bubbles.

One of the images I took while documenting a day in the life in Quiapo, Manila. I was actually taking pictures of the lady selling the bubble-making toys when all of a sudden this boy came inside the frame and started playing with the bubbles. I was really delighted I got the shot I want with the fleeting moment in front of me. Thank you very much for viewing.

    Boy, there's nothing like the exuberance of youth. Very good shot with excellent PP conversion.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Great way of conveying a young kid natural playful actions.
    If the lady making the bubbles was the subject, she turned to simply be part of the story.
    Very nice composition, as usual B/W is one of your best assets.

    The juxtaposition of the happy child and somewhat grim adults really makes this - nice shot.

    Thank you very much, Carlos. The lady selling the bubble making toys was really my initial subject. I took about 3 - 4 shots of her when the kid appeared. Seeing the triangular position of the lady, the kid, and the guy on the right in an instant, I knew that on this shot my main subject would definitely be the kid.
