Taken in an orphanage in Moshi, Tanzania.
Colour version included as well, although I think its better in Mono. Critique welcome.

P.S. Thanks to Andre for the dodge&burn tips.

this put a chill up my back from the tumb nail when i look at it in large it made me feel sad ,so you must have this right as its make lot `s of us have feel about it ,so it a top shot . v2 for me.

) v2 for me with the hint of colour.lesley
thanks for the EC and everyones comments, I'm glad people liked it. I also find it a very haunting image, although it certainly wasn't a haunting place. I've previously uploaded several images of the same kids , in the same orphanage, in the sunshine and the difference is huge - many people said how happy they looked. Guess it just shows how the same subject can be captured entirely differently.
Thanks again to everyone for the comments, and to Pete for the EC. Enjoy the weekend.

excellent image!.. nice work and congrats`!
...the title does make you think in a certain way though!
I just saw this as a thumb and knew that this should have an EC. Interesting how truthfully a thumbnail can speak.
Actually, although I am a b/w person, the coloured version here conveys more of the 'dark and dingey' to me. It's sufficiently dark to dramatize the atmosphere while the coloured delapidated background adds to the 'sadness' of this photograph.
Either way it's an excellent moody shot.
This is a touching photograph one of the best ive seen in here, but I would like to know more about the place it needs a story. I like both shots colour and mono well done.
