The kids buried in the sand and the kid in the boat are truly marvelous shots!

These are very, very nice photos. I have one suggestion Atrevido. Put your lens at different heights other than standing, eye-level, and you will begin to see more artistic framing opportunities that will add visual impact. The top three shots would have benefited greatly from a low, low camera angle - this is always a good idea with photographing children to get down at their level so they look over to you or even down at you, instead of up at you.

Not taking anything away from your shots though, they are really nice. Just 2 cents of advice.

I like the buried in the sand shot best, if that shovel and knee wasn't in it... easy fix in Photoshop. The dog completes the composition perfectly. Sorry for analyzing the photos so much... it's what I do every day. If you want the knee and shovel out - just let me know and I'll do it for you.

Is that a hotel in the last one?

Mario thanks for the critique. Yes I have photoshop but they´re just snapshots and I don´t feel they merit the effort. Well now that I look again I´ll take that knee out. Also don´t let the sun hit your lens (first shot). Quite right about the angle. Always makes children´s heads huge.

Porteña I believe it is with a couple of Indians on the corner. Pretty grand for Bahía Solano. I was hurrying to the airport and didn´t stop to check it out.

The helicopter shot was of the army loading up to head into the jungle to look for the six tourists kidnapped by the FARC.

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

Yes, taking the knee out of that photo would greatly improve the quality of the image. It's a beautiful image!

I think they're ALL fantastic - w/ or w/out knees! I kinda like small "imperfections" like the knee/shovel.

The dog's gone. That made the shot. I'll take the shovel out without the repeat patterns and leave the dog tonight. Ayyyyyy
