 I took this shot of a child playing in the sand on the beach. What i love about the shot is his obvious disconcern of things happening around him while at play.. Mind u, this is a very busy public beach!

I also love the textures that he created on the sand around him.:-)

Not much editing on this one barring some crop, increased contrast, selective sat and a bit of vignetting added in during processing.

Really like the composition, subject, and young model. Would have scored higher if there was more textural detail to the sand.

Great image; however, IMO, the border detracts (too harsh) for the scene. Lovely candid. (voted earlier)

Nice composition and plenty of sand. The angle works well.

Gorgeous vintage look, but you spoiled it by adding the big black border, no need to do that.
