Simply stunning shot Hoang - I love the long shadows too. The delicate ripples and the huge footprints all add to the effect. Very well balanced in its simple frame. Really great, Roberto

I join the chorus of viewers to congratulate you on this excellent shot -- certainly one of the best I've seen today. The color, composition, perspective, light -- they are all excellent.
Warm regards from Virginia, Bulent

Wow, what a shot.
Movement from up to down, but same time those boys are almost flying, or coming out from your picture.

Interesting, changing background. Thanks Hoang.

I have to came watch this picture again and again.
This jump with kites to unknown is something. Running from frizzy sand to smooth sand.
Running to down, but really they go up. Young boys without any prejudices, youthful ardourn, no fear.

Or simply joyfull picture, works also, well seen.
Many points.

Hello,

Une image pleine de vie et de couleurs, les ombres sur le sable rendent l'image très dynamique. Une composition légère, douce et colorée !

Amicalement,

Great, original image and unique perspective. I like the huge "footprints" the kids are making in the sand. Also you managed to capture all the joy and movements. Simply love it!

Nice Photo Hoang.
Sharp & clear.
But somehow I feel incomplete..
Every thing is tightly put in frame.

May the Position where you are to shoot them is not proper..Or you should have got more sand dunes to make more appeling view.

Here I mean to say, a moment where kids are enjoying is like overfloying joy.
Sure I can get that feeling from the actions of kids.
But when I see total composition..I stuck in my mind. & I started feeling may be FUN of kids may end in this frame only.
I do not understand what is POV!!! but For. ie
THIS

I feel it will give more space to enhance the feelings.

Hoang,

I could not be more envy of you for managing to capture this shot. There's action, speed, happiness, freedom all in one shot. The kites looks like if they were bigger it could take the kids airborne. A spontaneous capture of a moment that is gone in a few seconds. This picture could also fit in into the theme "Escape" easily for the competition. I wish you the best and looking forward to the final results. Cheers Andre

Hello Hoang. This photo of yours is nothing short of incredible. I love the movement and the details of the two on their descent. Gorgous and amazing indeed. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Hoang,

Very nice picture of these two children with their kite. The sight in diving gives the impression which they descend a vertical dune. Well considering !

Hi Long:
Do you need a person to carry your equipments? I don't intend to be as a good photographer as you to shot this type of photos, but just to follow you to the beautiful places.
Cheers!

The best words have been used and it is hard for me to find some proper terms to praise.
I simply told myself, "a star is born".
I hope you understand what I meant.
Congratulations!

Very nice image "LyLong". Lots of contrasting energy of the kite flyers with the sand and I like the variations in the sand textures also. Maybe I would have cropped a little differently, I'm not sure....Best wishes Paul

I have looked at this again and I think that removing a little from the bottom and possibly also a very small amount from the right creates more drama in the photo - as if the figures are about to jump off the picture. Hope you don't mind my comments. I think it is a wonderful image. Paul.

Hi Hoang Long,
What an excellent shot! The POV is superb. The sharpness is remarkable, allowing to perceive any little trace in the sand. The light is very effective…. and the children running with their kites, leaving their footprint in the sand has been perfectly captured... Another impressive photo!
