They look so cute here. Great capture Chris!

Sebastian Kisworo 12 months ago
this is really wonderful, my friend! I love how they are interacting, the wooden wall and their traditional dress. wonderful. I am gonna make the Indonesia version.
Christoph Hessel  Thats a grea idea. Know what? we all here are spread all over the world. We should think about an 1x project. "Faces of the world.". A collection or portraits. One part "traditional cloths" one "elder people" one "children". We should make a thread of that in forum...
Many thanks for Your comment and the inspiration my friend
Christoph
Sebastian Kisworo  Hi Christoph, if you wish to critique... not as good as yours.. http://1x.com/#!/forum/photo-critique/27855
