OK, I didn't notice the original before. Yes, it's noisy, but still usable with the right processing. I'd asked about the faces. Maybe the idea is that we should assume the children have painted their faces white to dress up in some way. However, as they aren't smiling, except maybe for the girl on the right, the white faces make them look a bit creepy, a bit like zombies. Anyway, that's just my thought. Interesting treatment with plenty to look at, which makes it worthwhile. Cheers, John

Actually there is about three layers of processing from the waist down. All in all there is seven layers, the faces having only one layer, the sky one only...I kinda like the half guy on the left. He's the only one who won't show his face. Thanks for the feedback JohnDU -JJ

Your image is interestingly processed from about the waist up, but seems at odds with the lower part, especially the foreground grass. Were the faces all white, or is that how you processed them. Anyway, this one seems to tell a story. Good ocmposition, except maybe for the guy cut off at the left. I'd almost be inclined to clone him out if there isn't more of him to include, and I daresay that after all your processing you don't want to have to redo it to include any more of the image at the left even if there is any. Thanks for adding more variety to this gallery. Cheers, John

I'm open to suggestions for a new title...Anyone?
