Subject information:	This is a photo picking from my trip to China in late-August, it was taken in NanJing. A group of children were leaded by a teacher for a Holiday trip.

Simply a beautiful shot, not much else to add. :)

I think (well wonder) if a longer lens (24mm ?) would make the temple easier to see in the distance. I like the idea of "pushing it away" but would like it a little more central...

In two of its three parts, this photo works well. The foreground (kids) and background (trees and haze) are captured beautifully. The only thing I'd maybe change is to "rub-out" the teacher w/Photoshop. He's a little distracting. All-in-all though, a really great picture.

I get a strange sense of are they looking up (sitting wrong) or are they looking down? Kind of like an Escher work. I think the 18mm combined with the unfamiliar expanse of stairs does that for me.

I really like this shot, the way the walk stretches off into the distance - just like these young people facing the beginning of their lives. Well done!
