 I was on a business tour with really tight schedule so I couldn't get any photo specifically for the challenge. However I had taken this candit shot of two impatient children at Bangalore International Airport. Submitting this as I don't have any alternative.

Straight out of camera.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Ah, amateurboi, we meet again! Bangalore International! Must have been a busy place. You were fortunate to find these cute kids there.

As your comments note, your subjects were not exactly the center of attraction in the frame and that probably hurt your scoring quite a bit. I did play with cropping your image and it seemed to center attention on the children more if you lopped off most of the ceiling at the top and some of the chairs at the bottom.

Then, if it had been possible to work a little in your editing program (probably Photoshop?) you might have been able to correct the white balance which shows up awfully blue on my screen. Failing that, a good way out of those difficulties sometimes is to simply make the image Black & White - using the sliders to control values.

Still, if you were traveling, you might not have had access to your editing program and you wanted to send in something. that's what counts.

Thanks for entering this.

Alice

This is candid, obviously. Unfortunately it's not a terribly interesting moment. They may truly have been impatient, but you didn't really capture a moment that shows us that. They appear to be just standing around. The framing is off too.

they dont' look so impatient; these kids look fairly happy to be at an airport
