About the Image(s)
In central Cancun (Mexico) summers, families come out after dark when the temperatures drop. At one park there are little cars parents rent for their kids. They seem to love driving them around and take it very seriously.
I took it with my iPhone 14 (not pro), so not the best. It makes its own settings. f/1.5, 1/60, ISO 320, 6mm.

Wonderful story of the boys and their car. I like the second boy as it appears to me that he is trying to climb inside and take a ride with the driver. The different color stones helps create the visual perspective of a path/road for the driver and car to follow. The spectators on the right side appear to be enjoying the evening with many children at their laps.   Posted: 09/10/2026 11:25:45
What a fun image with a very cute story. I like how you have made the main focus on the two children in the car, but with enough background information to add to the story. The children appear to be discussion something important, similar to grown men at a car rally! I also noted the 'pathway' leading to the car. I'm guessing you understand the limitation of using a mobile phone. As you say, unless you have the most modern version, the phone will decide the settings. I think the sharpness is not as good as it could be, but the story is wonderful.   Posted: 09/12/2026 00:15:18
