Hi Gunnar, I like the contrasting colour combination, the vibrant hues and the way you have captured this lovely scene. Nice pov

Hej Gunnar,
yes, much better than playing with fire... but still not quite safe, either (not in this case, I guess)!
I see red and green... where is the blue colour? a bluish stripe on the sleeve of the t-shirt? :)
I especially like the water and the child's hair (its colour): they look VERY natural ;)
On the whole, a peaceful scene, nice to watch!
Warm greetings from hopelessly rainy Moscow,
Elena

Hello Gunnar,
Always good to see kids enjoying themselves with simple things. Charming daily life shot with good colours and clarity.

Hej Gunnar,
Nice diagonals of grey slabs and brownish water, contrasting well to the green grass and the boy's red teeshirt, and his red-blonde hair. A fine study of a child deeply engaged in an interesting game.
Hälsningar,
Gert

It looks like he's holding something in his hand, perhaps a frog? Nice moment with good lighting and detail. TFS

Guten Abend, Gunnar!
Ja, daran kommt kein Kind vorbei! Wasser - ein wunderbares Element! Die Farben und der Bildaufbau hier sind einfach toll - und der Blondschopf lässt einen fast neidisch werden ;-)) Ein nicht alltägliches Foto - und ein sehr schönes.
Die Koffer sind gepackt und in der Nacht zu Samstag geht es los - zuerst 1 Woche New-Oleans-Jazz-Festival in Ascona und dann Wandern in der Silvretta in Vorarlberg!
Bis demnächst!
Grüße aus dem schwül-warmen Siegen!

Hi Gunnar, nice very sontrasting colour - green grass, red shirt and blond hair. All very Swedish. The boy is without jacket so the water must be shallow and safe. lovely scene.

Nice picture with streaming water and a boy fully concetrated on something interesting in the stream.

Wonderful to see a child so engrossed in the nature around him. It makes a charming image, well captured with good clarity and natural colours.

Bonsoir, cher Gunnar,
Une photo qui sent la vérité, le bonheur et l'insouciance de l'enfance ! s'amuser avec rien ou presque, s'inventer des mondes extraordinaires. Tout est dans la composition.
J'aime beaucoup cette image emplie de tendresse.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Gunnar,
A very pleasant and peaceful shot, good POV with atractive colors. The concrete slabs are sharp and just unique with this cute handsom little boy on top of it playing with the water.
I really like the reality of this photo.
Thanks for sharing and i always wish you best of luck.
Many regards,
Hussein
