Little Girl and the Sea, a photo from North Ayrshire, Scotland

Photographer's Note

Isle of Arran is said to be a miniature Scotland. Having been there, I can easily agree. Sea, mountains, glens, castles and even a distillery! This picture was taken in Blackwaterfoot on the Western coast in June, 2011. I hope you like it.

Allô Jarmo!
Très jolie cette photo de la petite fille et la mer bien présentée avec des couleurs toutes en douceur. La petite fille semble prendre une photo, une future adepte pour TE. Une photo bien composée, excellente perspective et bel éclairage malgré l'absence du soleil.
Bravo!... et bonne fin de semaine,
Emilius

Hello Jarmo,
The pale colours and remarkable light, plus of course the fine composition of the girl watching the sea, make this a very attractive picture. It's quite plain, but there is a gentleness to the composition that I like. The colours support each other very well. Regards,
Gert

Hello Jarmo,

What a lovely scene, but how much better that you have included that lovely foreground interest of a pretty little girl! Without her, the picture would not be nearly so interesting. Is she your daughter?

The little girl in her bright coloured clothes is in exactly the right position in the frame and we automatically follow her line of sight and look to the left into the distance - just where she is looking.

The lighting is lovely and the exposure, colours and details are superb.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. Just one little thing. Remember that you can put pictures here up to 800 pixels in height or width - this one is only 600 x 400 pixels and I think it would look much better if it were a little bigger!
