This is quite an amazing shot. I was inside a noisy nursery school with singing and dancing, there were about 40 children. I happened to look at the opening in wall and there was this other little boy just looking end. Luckily I had the camera ready snapped a quick shot. I love it. Thanks for noticing. Hope life is great on your end! Now I am in Vietnam visiting friends. :)

Thanks, Iani: I try to keep my eyes open around children because they are always unpredictable and do amazing things that look good in photography. Thanks for commenting! :)

Dear Brian: Thanks for comment. It might be a once in a lifetime image. I was at a humble pre-school at remote Monkey Bay, Malawi. The kids were all in their classroom singing and dancing with their teacher, but this one boy was outside and I happened to notice him peeking in. I took the shot not realizing how good it was--pretty lucky. :)

Dear Cookie: Thanks for the good words. I was visiting my grandniece who was volunteer teaching at a small nursery school in Malawi. We were singing, dancing, playing with the children and this one little boy heard the commotion and made a peering look inside, I happened to have camera in hand and caught his glance. Lots of fun and a good memory! :) :)

Dear Mhaeri: This is special photograph. My niece was a volunteer teacher in a rural school in Malawi. I visited her, went to the classroom where all the kids were singing and dancing, then there was this one shy boy who was peeking through an opening in the wall. The opportunity was for only an instant, luckily I got the shot. Thanks for commenting, wishing you the best, Larry
