A day at the beach

[lovelife65]

Was out at Deception Pass State Park, and this boy and his grandpa were having such a sweet and amazing time. Made it soft on purpose. But it certainly made me smile to watch them.

That is a really well composed shot. The man and child give it a point of interest. Then colours work so well.

I'd look to zap 3 areas to make it a more powerful image -

1) The grass coming in at the left hand side
2) The little bit of wave just up from the sand at the right had side
3) The boat (I assume it's a boat) at the right hand side.

Thank you Donald, for your suggestions. All really great and appreciated.

Hopefully a bit improved

Yes. I think that is an excellent image.

Very nice composition and muted colours combined with the scenery make an excellent image well done Sharon.

Thank you Donald and Peter. It was a wonderful scene, to watch the interaction between the two. The simple things in life

Very nice image Sharon , your second edit improved the image

[mugge]

I like the edit a lot. Would also like a B&W version because I think the blue colours dominate the pair a bit. That is only my opinion though.
Cheers Ole

Thank you Binnur and Ole. Ole, I will experiment with a B&W conversion.

A friend from for Oz sent me an image similar kind of image with an animal element to show the vastness of nature. This one belongs to that categories of beautiful and thoughtful composition. Great job!
