    Wow! Now there are Patti Hinton shirts! You really get around! Laughing.gif! Seriously though...I so wish that one kid wasn't staring at you - without that, this would be a classic. Well, without that and the guy growing out of the woman's back. ;-)

    Why, Explain please.

    I find that I am more engaged with this capture because of the eye contact.
    For me without it, it would just another group of kids asking for a hand/help out from some Westerner.
    Been there done that, no joy in it. Well capture and processed, Patti.
    The boys eye contact and yet seemingly Automatic out stretched arm well seems more poignant.

    Thanks Ben. I am of the same opinion. The ambivalence is mine about taking this sort of shot at all.
