Songkran / Water Festival Thailand

[Herriot]

A couple of pictures from the Songkran (Water) festival that took place in Thailand a couple of weeks ago.

Known the worldover for its characteristic tradition of water-throwing, it is an incredible experience with the whole country getting trigger happy with their water pistols and hoses!

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Wow! Great candid shots.
I'm not much for the first photo...the expression of the boy is not that great and the composition doesn't do much for me either.
The second photo is great tho! I love the expressions of both girls and the depth of focus is wonderful. This photo draws me in and makes me feel like I was actually there. The water flying around is great and really adds to the photo. You did a wonderful job on this photo...good job on keeping your camera dry too.
Cheers.

Thanks for your input! Plastic bag, a lot of sticky tape and a cautious eye for flying buckets of water!!

I really like the second one. Nice composition and the DOF effect.
