There is a lovely feeling of space with the distant figures on an empty beach for a child full of life to run free who makes a very strong focal point to give the image scale and with his pose a dynamic quality. The waves complete that dynamism together with the lovely shapes the sea has carved out of the beach. Given the dynamics of the beach and sea against the much less interesting sky this is one where I would have used the reverse balance with the beach dominating. I like the near mono/pastel tones. Thanks for another lovely entry Janine
Another example of where a good top crop - say 1/4 off the top - would have improved the image a lot - give it some focus on the subject matter. Still, a nice image.
