Hi Don
i do like this one it reminds me of all the times i have waited in the doctors surgery and there is always little naughty kids running around the blurriness of the children portrays this to me. the only thing i could suggest would be to have the people in the background even more "smuged out" (i guess is the word) and not so bright maybe desaturate them so that the foreground stands out more but hey thats just my opinion

I appreciate your view, Hails.

This is a lovely shot, Don. Nothing to criticise here. But I admire your nerve, taking pictures in the waiting room. I'd be afraid of people getting angry.

I like your picture Don. To me it gives a lot of meaning the motion blur in the kids and the static toys... Also the background is very interesting... Adults are passive while waiting and kids, as always, very active regardless the place they are... Nice picture

Ditto. A story well told, Don.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty good at these candids. I never point the camera with my eye on it. I just point it half missing the subject, while the camera is on my lap. I use a 21 mm (equiv) lens.
