2. Welcome to the group!
Great shots! Too bad that one little girl didn't stay still, though. I like them all, it's hard to pic the one I like best!

5. Thank you!
I actually like the movement of the girl. Somehow, to me, it adds something light and fun and maybe a little odd to the pic. Here's one without the movement:

3. I love the barbershop photo
Also the one of the guy sleeping on the balustrade. But they are all good. What kind of camera are you using?

7. Peru is on our short list of places to go...
...after India, which has always been my dream. These pictures are really good. I like the barbershop especially.

8. Peru is amazing . . .
. . . very similar yet very different than India. Challenging too. But so interesting and ancient.

Thank you. The barbershop pic is my fav too.

9. Welcome to the photogroup.
I love all these pictures. Hard to pick a fav for me,yes I love the barber shop but then you have the guy on the raft thing, the guy sleeping on the railing and the boy in the boat that tell their own story. Course the women and kids are great portraits, both with and without the movement. And well a boat called the Titanic would have me thinking twice before boarding.

11. Wow! Nice photos. I particularly like the second picture. It
portrays a step "back" in time to me. It almost look like it was taken years ago. Great job! :applause: and welcome to the photo group.:hi:
