Nice job, a picture without age but with lot of spirit!

I like the picture ...specially that the subjects are not looking at the camera, making it very casual. Congratulations.
Maybe you could cut some of the sides , and focus more on the people, the door and the stairs.

I too have been to Cuba, and a part of my heart remains there. Great capture of the lazy life of these children. A very good candit shot. Well done, and welcome to TrekEarth Aysel.

Very nice shot. It really conveys the heat of a lazy afteroon. The muted colors work really nicely with skin tones. I agree with Alan that a bit of a crop to focus on the people would be nice. Also, it seems the focus is just a bit soft. I tried a workshop. See what you think.

Welcome to TE, Aysel

great cuba/trinidad shot, i love the run down look and the relaxed pose of the kids hanging out. it looks like a very slow pace of life, full of old fashioned entertainment- talking. i must go to cuba soon.... great shot and welcome to TE! i hope you have more shots like this to share.

Hi Aysel, Welcome to TE. So you finally found your way over here. :). This photo is a great capture of the moment. Its very hard to get a picture of someone without they are looking into the camera.

Did you scan this from a original photo or was it from your digicam? Think you could try some unsharp mask on it to get more sharpness in the picture.
