Discipline

I was working on a story at a private school for troubled boys. This trio had obviously misbehaved as I recorded their timeout session. One of my all-time favorites.

My love today! V

I can understand why this is a favorite. The story telling is so evident. The body language and expressions of the boys is perfect, along with the way it is composed

Andre Hilkens		20-Oct-2011 18:48
Indeed, an all time favourite ! Great story, even without the text you added.

What is that they say about a picture's being worth a thousand words? Yours speak volumes, Marcia - this is yet another example.

Excellent moment you capture here, the image speaks by itself!

Kaparu2		16-Apr-2009 22:29
It leaves one wondering very deeply what on earth their crime might have been ......two use the wall for support - the other is ramrod stiff like a soldier - there certainly seems to be shame and maybe some remorse here ......but is there something more!? .......a captivating image........ bw Kev

Carol How		15-Apr-2009 05:55
Priceless- its one of a kind and love the ashamed/dejected look on the little guys face! V

Zolt�n Balogh		11-Apr-2009 09:44

John Potter		06-Apr-2009 17:33
Sorta sad though....

Guest		06-Apr-2009 05:54
For some reason, this one just makes me smile. A great funny image, even if those kids did some rotten behavior. They look so innocent, don't they?

Sue Robertson		05-Apr-2009 22:40
Oh Dear they are in trouble. Absolutely brilliant capture. a remarkable shot. v

Monique Trempe		05-Apr-2009 20:05

Guest		26-Mar-2009 21:08
oops, great image and memories,lol.

Ursula Armstrong		26-Mar-2009 16:49
very sad. What is especially sad about this picture is that the boys are all alone, they don't communicate with each other. Uschi (V)

Colin Clarke		26-Mar-2009 00:58
Is this the rule of thirds ? ;-) Fantastic. If you had asked them to pose, they could never have achieved this dejected, embarrassed, 'oh dear', poise. Voted

Chad Ramsey		25-Mar-2009 21:38
oops... ;) Nice capture! V

Sabine Stetson		24-Mar-2009 23:21
