does anyone have a better idea for a title?

this picture was taken in corsica. there is no special story inside...just children...
but there is a story "outside".
i took these little ones in a town called Sartene. It is a beautiful town with so many motives.... there were so many kids playing and jumping around. well there are many tehniques for taking shots of children. first of all i took some "hidden" shots. so that they did not notice me. but i am always noticed sooner or later... only sometimes if i have luck people dont notice me...
anyway when they saw my shooting, they turned their mood at once. they became very shy and serious.
well that didnt stop me.... i tried to get trust.... so i showed them few photos on a LCD... and when they saw those pictures of them... they became so crazy happy... they wanted me to take pictures.... they were asking me to take pictures of them in so many ways... it was a lot of fun. i had like a real photo session hehe...

and that is why i like this photo so much. i appreciate it because i got trust from these little ones... and i just had so much fun...

I really like the photo. And i really admire your ability to gain trust from these children... I have difficulty doing that T.T
dunno whether it's because i look like a bad guy or the children in malaysia are way too shy once they notice me.

hah thats exacly what I do when I take secret shots

I just hope parents aren't watching.

the title works.

yes you are right.... it can be a problem to take pictures of children...because of the parents.
but i would normally ask...well it depends on a situation.

i still feel like a child...i am 17 so i think that i have less problem with that.

Amazing shot! It makes me wishing to be a kid again... but alas.. it's to late

Alternative titles:
- Wild boys (ok they're not so wild)

- Catch my Icecream if you can (sounds a bit silly?)

- "Ice-cream" Share the fun... (It's ORIGINAL! It's NOT stolen! honest!...)

Oh dear... it's tea time!

Great photo.. It really expresses joy of that kids. It is in Corsica? Wow.. you have to really travel a lot... I'll be happy when I'll go on trip to Ireland, where I'll go next summer... It looks that you haven't stress about models... it's cool

i love traveling. but you need to be a right person for that. there are so many people who dislike travel...
well you will see and experince yourself.
