Carol, as a non-American I'm not that familiar with the customs of Amish people. In my country there is an Amish equivalent. Their people definitely don't want to be photographed. So I don't know if this also applies to the Amish. If so, they might give you leniency for the respectful way you captured this scene.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
My mind must be going. I could have sworn I had already commented on this one, something about how we have an artist in our midst, and that would be you, Carol. You post-shutter work on your photos is admirable and gallery-worthy. My formal training in fine art and career in art, design, and photography leads me to that easy conclusion about your work. Like everyone, I occasionally do dumb things, but putting you on my friends list so I get to see all your submissions, wasn�t one of them.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Very good capture anyhow!
