Challenge:Country Life (Classic Editing) Camera:Nikon D1X Location: Poka'i Bay, Waianae, HI Date: Jun 23, 2003 Aperture: F8 ISO: 160 Shutter: 125 Galleries:Family, Emotive Date Uploaded: Jun 24, 2003
I paddled canoe for the past 10 years at Poka'i Bay. As a child after practice we would jump off a short pier in the bay surrounded by a jetty which is no longer in use. Well we put it to use in our own way. I went to the beach for practice and saw three brothers having a blast on the pier. This picture isn't composed the way I would like, seeing how the subjects are centered, but I like the way it takes me back to those carefree childhood days in the country.

I really like this shot. I wish it were a little bigger. If only you could get a shot of only one boy... but with the sun looking exactly the way it does in this shot. Hmm...
Small, but perfectly formed! This could have been improved by moving the point of interest off-centre giving the feeling of space. This would create a more directional lens flare and stop the pic looking too centre-aligned (sun, boy, boy).
This photo is way to small. It looks like a lovely image but it'sjust too hard to see. You should have made this 640 pixels high. Let me know if you need help or just post in the forums. People on the site are very helpful. This looks really good from what I can see and I'm sure everyone on here would like to be able to see bigger photos from you in the future. Don't get discouraged this week, it will help your score A LOT when you make em bigger.
please try to submit a larger sized photo. :)
love the tones, the mood, ... makes me want to be there and jump right in too.
can't really comment on the quality/focus/etc.. as the image is not large enough. .. but good shooting.
I really love this picture ! you perfectly caught alle the elements together , they form an incredible pic ! Wished it was bigger but still beautiful = 7
Very pretty sunset picture with the kids in the foreground. The clouds are lovely and I like the colors. You did a good job with this. Unfortunately, you probably won't do as well as you should because of its small size. 8 Good luck in the challenge.
