[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On the Haifa beach, gazing at the distant horizon line, stands a family, an Arab family. Maybe a symbol of the future nd maybe there is no symbol at that at all. Anyway the pose and different sizes is what caught me.

the same as any family on any beach anywhere in the world....brilliant

Ah, ah, excellent Gilad. The best part of it is how all the adults have their arms crossed, and only the child opens clearly his arms to the world with confidence, hope, belief, strength, fearless, a dream in each hand. Fantastic!

Hi Gilad,
nice photo. The child is very expressive although back.

Hi Gilad. A beautiful shot. The waves, the misty horizon and of course the family. The stretched arms of the kid added beauty.Regards.

Hi Gilad,
it's really great moment and your shot is so great.To be a kid, open the arms freely... Your shot makes me better.Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Hare

No doubt about it - the child makes this.
Very good composition and depth of field - many messages can be read in this.

Thanks
Brian

Hi Gilad,
Excellent capture. I agree with previous comments about the child spreading his arms - it is very nice and symbolic

I have to say I made a more dramatic reading of this photo.

A while back you posted a photo titled "Crucify yourself" that featured a person with arms outstretched on the beach... so when I saw this one I thought of the same imagery... a more disturbing symbol of the future, perhaps that's what you meant in your note?

Anyway, it's good that the photo can have so many readings...

Hey Gilad!
Another great capture of a human life in our little country - The graphics elements here are so strong - you could see the descending line from the left man to the kid, the most effective element in this picture - well seen and implemented!
I have managed a WS as I felt this overcast is a bit of a drag and colors are pale in any case - better take advantage of the monochrome and enhance the graphics elements..Hope you will like it!
