I see the nature of children and their life. Every children should get their children rights.

Over the past few years Kyaw Kyaw has produced a wonderful series of the monk-boys in saffon robes playing soccer and this is another one! Good work.

I am also a finalist, in the Americana category, but had just had to say I really love this photo, great composition and timing. This shows there is only one language in soccer, this shot proves that , good luck to you and thanks for sharing and remember there is no competition in Art when you love what you do. Wayne Bennett.

All the pictures are fantastic. It's hard to choose just one. But these children playing soccer just makes me smile ear to ear! The composition could not get much better.

Great photo...the backlight is perfect it gives it a smokey effect yet captured the children's action so crisp clear you can see the boy's tiny fingers.

What a wonderful shot - it demonstrates the universality of human and especially children!

Great shot -- you get the mystery of the setting and the energy and delight of three little boys at play. Love the light coming from behind highlighting the transparent fabric of their clothing. The photo GLOWS. Thanks for sharing it.
