I love that it is snapshot style, but obviously made by someone who is talented enough to make a snapshot much more than a snapshot. Excellent job! ~ Lonnit

I have returned to this picture again and again. I actually like the way it is all akimbo with a cluttered background; it adds a sense of spontaneity. What a joyful scene! Only question . . . which one of them is having the soup??? LOL! -- Bruce Jones

Simply fantastic...an image with not just emotion, but a story to go along with it...this is what I was talking about. I think that the subjects are so powerful that the wall hangings/paiuntings are not even worth worrying about (IMHO)....of course one could take them out, or have taken the picture in such a way as to avert the slant, but this one has a power and presence of its own and I like it a lot. Thank you! :-D

Great portrait Jim. Thought about straightening it though? Or cropping a little closer to get rid of the paintings in the background? love the expressions. You have great subjects. Grant
