I was out on a mission south of Baghdad; we stopped by this farm and I gave all the kids and their parents muffins and waters. The kids are beautiful; they are so happy inspite of having nothing. Kids in the US have no idea how much they have, and just how spoiled they are. I took several photos this day of the kids on this farm but this one just stuck out to me. No way to really compose shots well of these kids, they all jump at the chance to be in a photo so you never know how many kids will end up in the photo. They end up in the background or often times they jump in front of the one you are trying to photograph.
