This is such a great shot! Excellent composition with the girl at the back.

The children were poor but happy. The picture does mean something.

Can absolutely sell it to National Geographic : )

, Thanks Danise

, Thanks PTsang, You are absolutely right about these kids, even though they are materially poor, they are mentally healthy and happy. Their minds are much healthier than city children. They are content with simple things in life.
