Nice bright shot. Nice colors and textures. The kids look like they are having fun exploring the beach. The sky is so blue and pretty. Nice job

A lovely photograph. Yes, I like the Henry James quote, I was a big fan of his in college. It goes perfectly with the mood you've captured here. Nice POV and nice composition. My pleasure to view and review.

My personnel views on your Photographic presentation;
Really nice candid capture on this Cleo,
colours are a fabulous job all round on the children especially.~But the landscape looks a real adventure to explore.
Nice work.~

Comment from Hidoshi
the colours are great, but there's a couple of big flaws:
1. the girl is bang in the middle of the photo and
2. her legs have been cut off out of the frame.
where you kneeling to take this shot? maybe eye-level from a bit further to the right with the girl positioned on the left would have been better

Thank you for your kind review, especially for your inputs. I now about these things. I wasn't kneeling I was on my belly. Otherwise the kids would have known I was shooting what would have them post. I was going for the boy not the girl when the girl moved into the photo I had barely time to readjust the settings and focus what aren't ideal either. I don't like centered photos myself unless I haven't A chance. I made crops with the kids repositioned but it doesn't look. I like the angel of showing up the kids rather than down, we do that to often anyway. The legs are cut in purpose there was to much latter on the beach brought in by the ocean. An ongoing problem here I addressed earlier. It is not the right place to show that in an vacation photo for the kids.

great photo, my favourite of the summer photos, the colour is strong, contrasting and earthy. Could maybe have left out the trunk to the right but there are so many aspects of the photo which draw you in

Thank you for your kind review. The palm and the palm trunk are in to give the feel of the location.
Comment from PoohBear
Nice photo however, you should have set your white balance to fit the conditions here. This looks a bit orange from the sun. Nice work of the great looking children.

Thank you a lot. Especially for your input. I have a similar photo with different white balance but didn't like it at all. To me it looks unnatural, just like a postcard not like reality. The lithe down her is different or may its me what sees it different, I don't know. I have put the photo in my portfolio for you. May you have a look and tell me what you think. I have ab eye problem since birth [no joke] what may my reception different from other people.

The picture has good initial impact. It has great lighting and color and a most interesting center of attention. The composition is great. The children's expressions are very good. There is a lot of story telling here.
