Excellent use of light, a clean spacious composition and tender moment. Always nice to see a photographer step back sometimes and take in the whole scene. The reflection on the floor is perfectly placed to highlight the boy's form. Nicely done!

The darling little girl turning to the crowd with flower raised while the rest of the room is bowed in prayer, that’s pretty much kids being kids! The layering in the picture all leads us to the little girl and the moment of prayer makes her pose all the more adorable and perfectly child-like.

This is a prime example of kids being kids, lost in their own little world. Great moment.

Fun lively photo that is really in the spirit of the category title "kids being kids"! A really photojournalistic image. Great moment captured within a perfect composition.

I like the picture. I prefer to see more of the eye of the bride inside the car but the gesture of the child compensates for this.

This picture is timeless. The little boy crashed out in his bow tie is adorable and the repetition of hands resting amongst all the men adds an intriguing pattern to look at over and over and circle back to the boy.

Loved this quiet image and can totally relate to how that poor girl is feeling at that moment. Although the photographer probably felt the same way at the end of a long night, he or she mustered on and made a great photo. Way to be patient and unobtrusive while waiting for that light to move across her face.

I love the quietness of this frame. Kids turning their back on the adult world and finding a world of their own to get lost in.

Nice intimate photo between bride and little boy. I loved that the photographer made them comfortable enough to be there unnoticed. I'm sure she will love to have this photo to look back on later in life. Not so sure he will...

Very good picture. The face of the boy in the middle through the plastic of the cake gives the picture a ghostly sense.

I love that the photographer found a moment within a moment here. One we've all witnessed, but the party going on in the background adds really nice context to this photo.

Nice moment of what looks like down time during a party or the ceremony.

Simple and tender, well composed, and very cute. Thank you for not getting on the ground and trying to get up in their faces. You really captured great body language and moment by hanging back.
