Action series... Smiling

Challenge #23 in the Verbs , action, and misc topics series. Hosted by barb_s.

Challenge has finished

I did laughing, but smiling is different, and beautiful. Babies with no teeth, children with some teeth, adults with all teeth, older adults with missing teeth. I expect only people in this challenge, no smiling pets. This is about the smile, and about the composition. A portrait shot is fine, as is a child on a carousel. And yes, if you love your own smile , enter it!

This photo was taken in Yinchuan, China when I was participating a summer volunteering program last year. We spent half a month with children in a primary school, taught science courses and organized outdoor activities for them. The last day when we were leaving, I captured is photo, to keep those lovely faces in my memory forever.
