Really great shot, think this would have scored much better if you had added some contrast and maybe put her on the right third of the image, nonetheless it is a really neat shot, great texture in the sand, very nicely done
I like this shot! :) The girl's play is obvious and her little bit of color is a nice touch. I find myself wishing she were a little further into the frame and a little more active - running, jumping or something.
cool photo, There is a nice little fish and chips shop right across the street from here.
My wife is a native of Wellington has some relatives that live just up the road from where you took this photo, and a few more up the road in Otaki. Ive been to this beach a few times and love it.
flip89 just pointed out in my photo that our two shots finished next to each other and are both from NZ
in fact I was staying in Paraparaumu at Dads (over from Sydney) on the 30th and went down to get a shot of Kapiti for this challenge just after lunch but the light was wrong and I didn't have someone to put in the shot to give it the appeal of your shot
so I headed up to my sisters and took my shot at Sanson on the way back to the airport..... small world :)
It may be an optical illusion, but the horizon looks just a tiny bilt tilted towards the left to me. I think, too, that the image might be more effective if the girl were walking into the picture (at the left) rather than so close to out of it. I like the idea behind this image very much, though.
This has a fun joyous sense. Great title. I love the one speck of color with her hot pink tee shirt. It gives it a WOW factor. Great placement of the figure in the shot. I like this very much.
