This is a wonderful work!!! The composition is perfect. I really like the use of B&W on this, with just the right touch of color. The placing of the figures creates a sense of movement and purpose. This image has so much emotionally. Firstly, the bond and love between father and daughter. Then also the excitement of soaring with the kite. And then the freshness of being on a beach on a cool, blustery day.

I love the picture. I like the way you only have two thing is color. They stand out that way. This is a very sweet picture of a father spending some quality time with his daughter. Gerat job. I guess it's a father, can't really tell from the back. Could be an older brother. Anyway, they are spending quality time together.

What a great shot between a father and daughter. Before I read your notes about the color I was thinking how great it looked with just the sweater and kite having great color thinking it was because it was an overcast day. Really nice job.

Very beautiful. I liked your choice to omit all other color except for accentuating the kite's vibrance and child's sweater. It really ties the two into the themes of the piece, as well as the focus intended. This was a nice layout of photographic presentation. My favorite element of the piece is the brewed clouds captured. Very nice image to reflect upon.

    Thank you. I particularly like the way the strings from the kite lead the eye back and forth between the two coloured areas.
Comment from Casteel


I think this is absolutely gorgeous I love the color effects you have used for the sweater and the kite. The lay out of it makes it so you can look up to the right at the bright kite and it will automatically make you look down to the left to view the people on the left.

    Thank you. I was quite intrigued at the way the colours are "linked" by the kite strings, myself.

Absolutely gorgeous - I think your decision to combine black and white with color was excellent and certainly adds to the picture - definitely one to be bookcased ! Well done.

This I really like!!! I love the black and white artistic quality and then to add the colors to the kite is great. You can practically see through the kite makig it look very light and easy to fly. Great composition and contrast on the sky. I also love the depth.

Very nice image. I like how you got rid of all the color except for the sweater and the kite - it evokes a sense of a child at play and what we lose when we grow up, yet try to capture once again when we're older. Overall composition, nicely framed, good subject matter, and the surrounding scenery really sets this piece off.
