Premium Photo Competition 2013 Q2 : Entry Number 429

This may be staged, we don't know. But it does make you think. Lovely picture.

First of all: Thank you for seing my photo :-) Then: The picture is ( I´m sad to say) NOT staged! I never stage my photoes. It was taken in Villa Borghese in Rome. I sat beside and saw this "scene" for over half an hour, before I took the picture. The parents were preoccupied with their own life and computers. The kids tried to get the parents' attention all the time. Eventually the little girl gave up and started playing for herself, while the boy kept trying to get the adults' attention. For me it is a very sad picture and I was very unsure if I should publish it, but I agreed with myself, that the story was too strong, so that it was worth showing. The camera was an old Canon 40D.
