This was totally accidental in the fact that I was out with my son and we spotted four small sailboats on the beach so we walked over to take a few photos of them. Next thing you know this family with a young girl were video taping what looked like the first steps the child had on a beach in water. Decided that this would be just perfect, me photographing them while the mother was video taping the husband with their precious, stumbling little girl. It was perfect!
Hope everyone enjoys it.

It looks like the focus on the original image may have been too soft, and you then over-sharpened to try to compensate for this. The color cast makes this look like a faded family snapshot; if this was intentional, adding a little bit of noise might have helped to flesh out the effect. It may just be the odd shape of the shore in the background, but the horizon feels like it's tipped slightly.
