The kids at the wedding party assembled for a photo. Before they'd settled and replaced their smiles with formal faces, I snapped a photo.

The dappled light is lovely.
I like the fact that the one girl is not behaving herself - being heavily out-numbered. It's great that you managed to catch them without the 'photo-faces'. (They are probably all married by now - don't you need to return and check?)
Like a contagious little ripple of joy in the corner, and a wall of seriousness surrounding her.
RR, although the light was difficult, it did add a quality I think I'm only now beginning to appreciate. It'd be fascinating (and, I suspect, sobering) to see the same group now.
Zhoen, I never discovered why only one girl was present among all these boys. For all I know, the other girls might have been hiding out of sight. One of the frustrations of being able to communicate only through gestures and an interpreter who had hardly any English.
I love the JOY! The energy is wonderful - great shot.
Thanks Barbara :^) The subsequent photos were far more static and posed; this is definitely my favourite.
