Everyone wants to know!

Not: an alligator or penguins, fish, waterfowl, camels, elephants or meerkats. No turtles or polar bears there.

After the contest, I will post a pic of the thing at which they are looking.

It would have to be something pretty danger-free, probably a pond of fish or ducks or something like that, otherwise they wouldn't have the adults further back behind a wire fence and the kids up close behind glass panels. It's something that they want kids to see up close and wouldn't have a chance of breaking the glass and hurting the kids. The kids are all looking down at about a 45-degree angle so it's something on the ground or water. There's also more than one because all these sets of eyes are not looking at the same thing. If the glass in the lower right was more reflective there might be more clues, but alas, no. So my guess is fish, waterfowl, or something else that's safe for the tykes.

It is the opposite of "Look Up." I don't know what it is, but everyone seems to be interested. Good people shot.

Nice idea Cindy. Whatever it is that they are looking at, it is those facial expressions that are caught so well in this image that matters.

This is a great people shot, Cindy. They seem fascinated and focused, but not frightened at all. I don't suppose they are in line for an elephant ride or a camel ride?

It's also an interesting twist. Instead of trying to interpret a digital illustration or figure out what the larger object might be, here we are trying to figure out what the people might be looking at.

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.

Its a great photo with all those intent expressions and I like all the colours.
They appear to be looking down at quite a steep angle and I think it could be Polar Bears or something !
Some of the children look quite apprehensive in their engrossment as though it is something quite unusual that they do not see often.

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

I think they are watching something not really nice ... Slight disgust on their faces ... Some small, rather ugly reptile that cannot jump very high, would be my guess. How about a turtle, perhaps ...
After all, we, secret agents, should know these things. LOL

It's good to see all those kids enjoying themselves Cindy there aren't enough people shots on Caedes. In the UK photographers aren't allowed to photo children under the age of 16 without the guardians permission. )o:

PS: Good luck in the competition.

Very good idea to take this people shot. A great entry to this contest. The impression on the faces of the people is not "what is this?" but makes us think "what is this, they are watching?". Good luck in the contest, my friend.
