Light was very harsh, so exposure was difficult...

#3



#4



#5



#6a Fot this last one, I can't really make up my mind between the 2 versions...

Thank you. Those kids really wanted to get their picture taken and see it on the screen. I've got to print a few and send them...

These are good. I do see the WB bouncing around. Have you considered doing them all in B&W?
