When I took these candid photos, I waited patiently for the subjects to get into good positions without them noticing me. It took some time, but I trusted the process until I finally managed to get what my intuition thinks are the right moments. 

I removed the colors with the "B&W" filter in my camera app this time. Considering the compositions, leading lines, along with repetition, draw viewers' attention to the two boys in the center of the left image, while the bird in the right one is on the top-left intersection of the grid of the rule of thirds. Finally, I made the silhouettes of the subjects possess darker tones compared to their backgrounds to create figure to ground. 

It is vital that the subjects did not see me taking pictures of them, or else they would have appeared like they were posing or reacting to me. The subjects were able to display authentic expressions and imply natural movement. 

Personally, I do not think making the images black-and-white was necessary, as the colors would not have been too distracting. Since the subjects are the focal points, the compositions and the value contrast between the subjects and their surroundings help direct focus to them.

Since the moments captured in the photographs are not staged, they show the subjects living in the present instead of being aware of what is happening around them. This allows the pictures to describe the true nature of how the boys interact with each other and how the bird flies freely.

I just want my viewers to at least appreciate these pictures that I have shared, but ambitiously speaking, I hope that I can convey the message within them maybe about genuine behavior and fleeting time.
