Wonderful work! Their faces are all so expressive - and you have captured very natural poses.

These are incredibly sharp and richly textured photos. I'm really impressed.

A bit disturbing to see these children living in obvious and extreme poverty, but the photos are nevertheless excellent both emotionally and technically. I like the post processing work you've done, the colors and textures are very rich.

Do they know they are living in obvious and extreme poverty.? None of them look underweight. Poverty in relation to the western civilisations, maybe, but in relation to mainland africa? Who knows.
I feel everyone on earth is either lucky or unlucky as to where you are born. This view also includes flora and fauna.

Maybe they are not starving but as you can see, kids in Africa often have to get by with very little and work hard from an early age, especially if they are orphans which they, unfortunately, often are.
