Marcia Rules

Discipline

I was working on a story at a private school for troubled boys. This trio had obviously misbehaved as I recorded their timeout session. One of my all-time favorites.

This is one of the most adorble pictures I have seen in my life ! One boy showing his whole face expression, one boy showing half face expression, and one boy not showing his face at all, but from how straight he stands we can guess his face expression.... We pity them, yet can't help laughing a bit....both caused by the striking effect of this precious capture. ~VvVvV~

This is great! Reminds me of my brothers and I and we were always glad when it was just this.

My love today! V

I can understand why this is a favorite. The story telling is so evident. The body language and expressions of the boys is perfect, along with the way it is composed
Andre Hilkens20-Oct-2011 18:48
Indeed, an all time favourite !
Great story, even without the text you added.

Robert D. McAlpine26-May-2010 20:42
What is that they say about a picture's being worth a thousand words? Yours speak volumes, Marcia - this is yet another example.
Lee G25-May-2010 05:04

Excellent moment you capture here, the image speaks by itself!
Kaparu216-Apr-2009 22:29
It leaves one wondering very deeply what on earth their crime might have been ......two use the wall for support - the other is ramrod stiff like a soldier - there certainly seems to be shame and maybe some remorse here ......but is there something more!?

.......a captivating image........

John Potter06-Apr-2009 17:33
Sorta sad though....
Guest 06-Apr-2009 05:54
For some reason, this one just makes me smile. A great funny image, even if those kids did some rotten behavior. They look so innocent, don't they?
Sue Robertson05-Apr-2009 22:40

Guest 26-Mar-2009 21:08
oops, great image and memories,lol.
Ursula Armstrong26-Mar-2009 16:49
very sad. What is especially sad about this picture is that the boys are all alone, they don't communicate with each other.

Colin Clarke26-Mar-2009 00:58
Is this the rule of thirds ? ;-)

Fantastic. If you had asked them to pose, they could never
have achieved this dejected, embarrassed, 'oh dear', poise. Voted

oops... ;) Nice capture! V
