Very well done shot. I feel like these kids are too well dressed to convey true poverty though..

Comment by lochie:
it just looks a little too posed. The lighting is gentle and the tonal range excellent

This is a great pic and could well be amongst the ribbons this week. The only thing I would have liked to see is the smallest girl in either bare feet or older shoes and maybe an older looking top. Certainly IMO one of the better images in this weeks challenge though.

Come on! Those are some beautiful, healthy children. Clean clothes and finger nails. Skin is glowing with health despite the dirt. Love the composition, BW conversion, focus, etc. Just a long shot at expressing poverty. I'm not going to vote because minus the dirt on the face this a wonderful photograph, just does not represent poverty to me.
