this is the most excellent image .. I LOVE IT .. love your processing and love the feel ... because of the dry and colourless grass and vegetation its making me think that their future is looking bleak indeed .. but with the children being so colourful its giving it a more optimistic feel .. totally my opinion .. as usual !! :)

Seems to need some contrast, color or something. The shadows could be more distinct.

this photo would look soooooo good in b&w or unedited. The colors of the children compared to the ground look surreal and strange personally I think it draws from the picture in whole!

there's a green tint all around this picture.
otherwise, it's a good idea and nearly well executed.
